I have been looking at these for a while, and today decided to buy one. It is the Charter Arms .357 Mag Pug.
Anyone have experience with Charter?

Yup, most certainly will. Was going to take it to the range today, but due to this crappy "mini" snow storm we had here yesterday, I ended up having to take care of things around the house.I had it's twin in 44 spl.along with one of Charter's Italian made leather holsters. Carried if for awhile but traded it off. My standard mid-range 44 spl. load of 7.5 grains of Unique and Elmer's bullet was way too much recoil! Decent quality though. Let us know how full power 357 mags. work in it!
Have tried to like them but worry about how good their metal is, seems to be like 'pot metal' like Bersa uses. Hard to understand how suppsoevive all stainless steel construction can weigh so lite.Anyone have experience with Charter?
Yeah, I bet so too, but I still have not had the chance to shoot it!I bet that it looks like the USS Iowa when you shoot it at night.
Well, I don't know about Bersa building "pot metal" guns. I have owned a few in the past, and still have a Thunder 380, that I have had for about ten years now, and it has shot a lot of rounds...still runs fine for me, and I carry it at times as well.Have tried to like them but worry about how good their metal is, seems to be like 'pot metal' like Bersa uses.
