The transfer bar broke not long after he got it. He has still never fired it.
I suspect the part needs to be redesigned for greater strength, and/or made of better material. I broke three, in a year and a half. Liked the gun well enough, and was very happy with how easy the service dept. was to deal with, but I couldn't trust it for carry.
I wonder how many transfer bars their repair dept. replaces.
He decided to totally strip down the revolver and replace the part himself....then got stuck and couldn't get it back together.
BTDT. The trigger and associated parts (trigger spring, trigger bushing, hand and transfer bar) are a 3 hand PITA to get back together.
last time in, Charter offered to send me a transfer bar for me to install. I laughed.
Apparently, Charters are not easy to disassemble and reassemble - nothing like S&W's or Rugers.
Oh,they're fairly simple. And easy to disassemble. It's the trigger spring that causes the diffiuclty. It has to be looped around and under tension, wile the hand and transfer bar are in just the right place, and the trigger assy is slid into place and the trigger pin tapped through to hold the whole thing in place.
They say that the 9mm Pit Bulls are having extraction problems.
Interesting. Well, no one's gotten that to work well yet.
