I like Charter Arms; having (2) .44 Spl. Bulldogs, (2) .38 Spl. Undercover w/ 3" barrels, (2) .22 Pathfinders, 3". (1) 79K .380 Semi-Auto. All the revolvers are early Bridgeport or early Stratford mfg.
Have some early brochures and price lists and several old magazine articles. On a 1985 price list is listed under Semi-Autos: Model M42TGT Target Model .22, Model M40, .22, Model M79K32, .32 acp, and Model M79K38, .380 acp. I am familiar with the 79K .380 as I own one and occasionally see one on Gunbroker. I have never seen nor can find anything online about the other Semi-Auto models listed.(All made by ERMA and imported).
Finally, my question: Were all these models ever marketed in the U.S.A. or perhaps the demise of Charter happened before they were available?
Anyone ever seen or owned any of these Semi-Autos?
