i shot my friends about 50 times and it works fine. we were having ftf but the primers were being struck and it was just bad ammo that he bought at the gunshow

I have an Undercover Stainless in 38Spl. This gun is 30+ years old and the only part replaced was the firing Pin. Great Gun but my son bought a new Left hand model and it's about half the gun the old one is. They have lightened everything they could. Mine is more plesant to shoot (Heavier).

They have lightened everything they could.

And cheapened; cast metal internals and plastic trigger guards on all the new ones.

Not a bad gun, but if I was looking for a lightweight revolver in the ~$350 price range, I'd go with something in the Taurus 85 family. But then, at $350, you're only a short jump to a S&W or Ruger...

Have had a Charter Arms Undercover .38 Stainless since 1983 (back in the jurassic when cops carried revolvers). While I have put only hundreds of round thru this gun, it has never failed.
