Charter Arms Undercover Lite .38 Special 5-Round Standard Hammer Revolver$374.00
Availability: In Stock
The Charter Arms Undercover Lite Southpaw .38 Special revolver is purpose-built for left-handed shooters who refuse to compromise on carry capability or reliability. Unlike ambidextrous designs that feel like compromises, the Southpaw is fully reverse-engineered from the ground up — the cylinder release and swing mechanism open to the right side, giving southpaws the natural, instinctive operation that right-handers take for granted. At just 12 ounces and built on a 7075 aluminum frame with a 2-inch barrel, this five-shot .38 Special handles everyday carry, truck storage, or backup duty without the weight penalty of a steel frame.
Charter Arms pioneered left-handed revolver design, and it shows in the execution. The Undercover Lite Southpaw fires both standard .38 Special and +P ammunition, giving you flexibility in load selection depending on your mission. The double-action/single-action trigger lets you shoot from the holster or take precision shots with a deliberate trigger press. The full-grip frame ensures control despite the snappy nature of a lightweight .38, and the anodized aluminum finish resists corrosion while keeping weight down.
This is a revolver engineered for the left-handed shooter who understands that a gun is only useful if it handles naturally in your hand. No reaching across the frame, no fumbling the cylinder release, no operating a gun designed for someone else's dominant hand. The Southpaw lets you draw, operate, and shoot the way your body is built to shoot.

| Barrel Length | 2 inches |
| Weight | 12 oz |
| Frame Material | 7075 Aluminum |
| Finish | Anodized Aluminum/Stainless Steel |
| Grip | Full |
| Action | Double-Action/Single-Action |
| Hand Orientation | Left-Handed (Cylinder opens to right) |
This is a fully left-handed design. The Southpaw is complete reverse-engineered so the cylinder release and opening mechanism are on the right side of the frame — natural for a left-handed shooter. This is not an ambidextrous compromise; it's built specifically for lefty operation.
Yes. The Undercover Lite Southpaw is rated for both standard .38 Special and +P loadings, giving you flexibility in ammunition selection.
At 12 ounces, the aluminum-frame Undercover Lite Southpaw is exceptionally light for daily carry, truck storage, or backup duty. The lightweight construction makes it ideal for extended carry without fatigue.
The two-inch barrel keeps the overall profile compact and concealable while still delivering useful .38 Special velocity. Combined with the 12-ounce weight, it's well-suited to inside-the-waistband or pocket carry applications.
