Charter Arms Off Duty .38 Special 2" Black Compact 5-Round DAO Revolver$380.11
Availability: In Stock
The Charter Arms Off Duty .38 Special is a compact, lightweight revolver built for daily carry and personal protection. This 5-round, double-action-only revolver combines serious stopping power with the kind of minimal weight—just 12 ounces—that makes all-day carry genuinely feasible, whether you're carrying professionally or for peace of mind. At 2 inches, the barrel is short enough to tuck away easily while remaining practical for defensive distances.
Built tough for reliability, the Off Duty pairs a durable aluminum frame with steel components, delivering the ruggedness you expect from Charter Arms without unnecessary heft. The high-polish black stainless steel finish resists corrosion and looks sharp in any light. Fixed sights keep things simple and snag-free—important when draw speed matters. The full grip ensures a solid purchase even under stress, and the double-action-only trigger design eliminates the manual safety and hammer concerns that complicate defensive revolvers.
The Off Duty chambers .38 Special with +P capability, giving you solid options for modern defensive ammunition without requiring a larger, heavier gun. For those whose work demands they carry a firearm or anyone seeking a reliable backup gun that won't fatigue you during long shifts or daily wear, this revolver delivers the compromise every defensive shooter wants: genuine stopping power in a package you'll actually keep on you.

Yes. At just 12 ounces with a 2-inch barrel, this revolver is built specifically for carry—whether as a primary defensive gun or a backup. The compact size and light weight make it realistic to carry all day, which matters far more in self-defense than a gun left at home.
The Off Duty fires .38 Special and is rated for .38 Special +P, giving you flexibility with modern defensive rounds and practice ammunition.
Double-action-only eliminates a manual safety and the hammer spur—both snag hazards in a defensive draw. One simple trigger press, every time. It's faster to operate under stress and leaves nothing to think about.
The Off Duty comes with fixed sights, which are snag-free, reliable, and require no maintenance. They won't catch on a holster or clothing during the draw.
