After having my Charter Arms Undercover (5-shot, .38 Special, 2" bbl.) for a number
of years, and only putting a couple of boxes
of ammo through it while informally plinking,
I finally tried it out at an indoor range. I
can only say that this revolver leaves MUCH
to be desired. While shooting at a target
approx. 20 feet away, the gun kept hitting
about 6" high and about 5" to the left. I
know it was the gun because all of my shots
grouped in that area. I didn't have this
trouble with the other guns I fired that day.
I'm sure glad I found this out about the gun;
I was actually thinking of carrying it. Of
course, I realize that the gun wasn't meant
for tack-driving accuracy, but that was
ridiculous. This occurred in both SA and DA
mode of fire. Has anyone else had this prob-
lem with this model?
BTW, special thanks to Morgan for his help
with my search for an accurate, concealable
pistol. He graciously offered to meet me at
an indoor range near him and let me fire his
Kahr MK40. All I can say about that little
gun is WOW! I'll definitely be picking up
one of those in the near future. At first, I
was thinking about getting a 9mm, but now I'm
leaning toward the .40S&W. I was also VERY
impressed with the H&K USP40 he let me shoot.
After I returned to shooting my Makarov, a
gun I still enjoy shooting, it felt as if I
went from a Cadillac to a Suzuki Swift. Not
that I'm knocking the Makarov, it's a great
gun for the price and, after 500+ rounds, it
has never had a failure to feed, but now that
I've seen what else is out there, I'll never
be the same.
