Everyone,
I wanted to share an experience I had today with Charter Arms. I was in the market for a revolver and was having a hard time finding a dealer who had a Mag Pug in stock so I reached out to Charter Arms and asked them for a suggestion on were to go. Understand I live 14 miles from the Charter Arms factory in Shelton CT. Well they responded with stop by and we can show you one. So today my wife and I did just that. To make a long story short we ended up meeting Nick the owner who gave us a tour, let us handle a new Bulldog, Pink Lady, and Mag Pug and then I heard him say "want to fire them " and so we did. My wife and I both got to fire each model in their facuility down their test lane. So kool. Nick is a top notch guy. I asked about the perceived quality issues in which he brought me to the repair room and opened up the cabinet with the guns in for repair. He said we have been in business sine 1964. We will work any any Charter Arms firearm and said keeping this in mind look how many we have for repair. There was like 8- 10 with more than half being old models dating back to the 70's and 80's. Not many considering how many they have made since 1964.
My wife and I are just average folk and Nick talked at length with us. Gave us gun advice and talked with us more than just firearms. Everyone at Charter Arms was great. Everyone smiled, said hello, and as we were leaving the folk in the parking lot all waved and smiled.
In the end all three guns were great. I ended up getting in my car, driving one mile away, and then purchased a Mag Pug. After my experience today they have a lifelong customer who will be buying more of their product.
I don't want this to start a comparison thread between Charter Arms and other Manufacturers but If haven't given them a look in awhile and are wanting another revolver I would give them a look. They are a USA company who gets all there parts from local companies. It's a USA made gun with only USA parts in them. These are the company's that deserves support.
Sorry for the long post but it was a great experience and great day for us.
