Charter Arms Santa Fe Lightweight .38 Spl Revolver, 2″ Barrel, 5-Round

Product Description

The Charter Arms Santa Fe Lightweight is a .38 Spl double-action revolver with a 2″ barrel and a 5-round cylinder. It uses a small aluminum frame and weighs 12 oz, so it is easy to carry and easy to handle.

The most obvious feature is the turquoise Cerakote finish. The spurred hammer lets you thumb-cock the revolver for a single-action shot when you want a slower, more deliberate pull. A 3-point cylinder lock-up holds the cylinder in place. The black rubber grips have finger grooves to help you keep a steady hold.

Who it suits

With a 2″ barrel and a 6.75″ overall length, this revolver fits shooters who want a compact .38 Spl for carry or a nightstand. The fixed sights keep the design simple, with nothing to adjust or snag. It also suits newer shooters who like the straightforward operation of a double-action revolver.

For gear, start with a holster sized for a small-frame revolver. A pocket holster or inside-the-waistband holster works well for a gun this light. Add a few speedloaders or a belt pouch for spare .38 Spl rounds, plus a cleaning kit and a lockable case or safe for storage. Practice ammunition lets you get comfortable with the trigger before you settle on a carry load.
