Charter Arms Off Duty .38 Special 2" High Polish Black SS DAO 5-Round Revolver$403.33
Availability: In Stock
The Charter Arms Off Duty .38 Special is a compact revolver built for everyday carry and personal protection. Weighing just 12 ounces, this lightweight 5-round .38 Special +P is engineered for shooters who need reliable stopping power without the burden of extra weight. The 2-inch barrel and fixed sights make it instantly ready to deploy, whether you're working security, heading out for the day, or carrying for peace of mind. Built from aircraft-grade 7075 aluminum and steel, the Off Duty combines rugged durability with genuine portability — a real advantage when you're wearing it all day.
The double-action-only (DAO) trigger means there's no external hammer to snag and no single-action mode to manage under stress. Every shot breaks the same way, which simplifies training and instinctive response. The full grip fits your hand naturally, and the fixed-sight setup eliminates snag points and moving parts that can fail. This is a purpose-built revolver for professionals and civilians who understand that the best gun is the one you'll actually carry.
At just 12 ounces, the Off Duty sits comfortably inside the waistband, ankle, or pocket — carry methods that would be uncomfortable with heavier alternatives. The .38 Special +P chambering delivers proven defensive ballistics in a platform that doesn't announce itself. If you've been looking for a compact revolver that doesn't compromise on shootability or reliability, the Charter Arms Off Duty delivers both in a package you won't dread carrying every single day.

Yes. At 12 ounces with a 2-inch barrel and fixed sights, it's compact and light enough for pocket carry without printing. The fixed sights won't snag fabric, and the double-action-only trigger is secure.
The Off Duty fires .38 Special ammunition, a proven defensive cartridge. The "+P" designation means it's loaded to higher pressure, generating greater velocity and energy than standard .38 Special loads.
The Off Duty is purpose-built for professionals and civilians who carry for work or personal protection. Its lightweight, fixed-sight design, and dependable DAO trigger make it well-suited to that role. Always verify any carry restrictions with your employer or jurisdiction.
DAO triggers require more deliberate press than single-action firearms, but the Off Duty's full grip and simple, consistent trigger press are easy to train on. Many professionals prefer DAO for its safety and simplicity — every squeeze feels the same, with no surprise transitions between trigger modes.
