Charter Arms Undercoverette Off Duty Handgun .32 H&R Mag 6rd Capacity 2″ Barrel Concealed Hammer Black

The Charter Arms Undercoverette Off Duty handgun .32 H&R Mag 6rd capacity 2″ barrel concealed hammer black is the kind of revolver that makes you wonder why more companies don’t build them like this. It’s a lightweight, six-shot snubby that chambers the versatile .32 H&R Magnum, giving you a flat-shooting, low-recoil option for concealed carry or backup duty. At just 12 ounces with a 7075 aluminum frame and a shrouded hammer, this little wheelgun disappears in a pocket holster or ankle rig. Per Charter Arms specs, this is a production run that honors the classic Off Duty series, but with modern metallurgy and a black finish that means business.

Key Features

• Concealed Hammer Design – WHY IT MATTERS: The shrouded hammer eliminates snagging on clothing during a fast draw, and it keeps the profile snag-free for pocket carry. You get a true double-action-only revolver that won’t hang up on a shirt tail.
• 6-Shot Capacity in .32 H&R Mag – WHY IT MATTERS: Six rounds in a compact frame is rare. The .32 H&R Mag offers noticeably less recoil than a .38 Special, making follow-up shots faster and more accurate, especially for shooters with smaller hands or arthritis.
• 7075 Aluminum Frame – WHY IT MATTERS: This is the same alloy used in high-end AR receivers and aerospace components. It’s stronger than typical 6061 aluminum, yet it keeps the revolver at an easy 12 ounces without sacrificing durability.
• 2″ Barrel with Fixed Sights – WHY IT MATTERS: The 2″ barrel is the sweet spot for deep-concealment revolvers. It balances ballistic performance with a compact length, and the fixed sights are snag-free and reliable for defensive distances.
• Black Finish Over Stainless Steel Cylinder – WHY IT MATTERS: The black finish on the cylinder reduces glare and resists holster wear better than bright stainless. It also gives the gun a low-profile, tactical look that collectors appreciate.

Who It’s For

This revolver is built for the collector who wants a rare bird—a .32 H&R Mag snubby from a legacy maker—and for the daily carrier who values light weight and low recoil. If you’re a gun show regular who hunts for odd calibers or backup guns that don’t beat you up, this Undercoverette fits your bag. It’s also ideal for shooters who struggle with the snap of a .38 Special but still want a reliable revolver for self-defense.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Ultra-light at 12 oz., six-shot capacity in a compact frame, .32 H&R Mag offers less muzzle flip than .38 Special, concealed hammer for snag-free carry, 7075 aluminum frame is tough for its weight.
• Cons: The double-action-only trigger pull is heavy out of the box—expect a 10-12 lb pull. Some shooters may want a trigger job or a Wolff spring kit to smooth it out. Also, .32 H&R Mag ammo can be harder to find than .38 Special at big-box stores.

What is the .32 H&R Mag cartridge good for?

The .32 H&R Mag is a low-recoil, flat-shooting round that’s popular for small-frame revolvers. It offers better terminal performance than .32 S&W Long, with less snap than .38 Special. It’s ideal for concealed carry, backup guns, and shooters who want a mild-mannered defensive load. Federal and Buffalo Bore make good defensive loads in this caliber.

Will this revolver shoot .32 S&W Long or .32 ACP?

It will safely chamber and fire .32 S&W Long, but NOT .32 ACP. The .32 ACP is a semi-auto cartridge with a different rim diameter and case length. Stick to .32 H&R Mag or .32 S&W Long for reliable function and safety.

How does the 12 oz. weight affect shooting?

The light weight makes it easy to carry all day, but it does mean more felt recoil compared to a steel-frame revolver. However, the .32 H&R Mag produces less recoil than .38 Special, so it’s still manageable. A good grip technique and practice will help you stay on target for follow-up shots.

Is the Charter Arms Undercoverette suitable for pocket carry?

Absolutely. At 12 oz. with a 2″ barrel and a concealed hammer, it slides into a pocket holster without printing. The rounded edges and snag-free design make it one of the best pocket revolvers on the market. Just use a quality pocket holster to keep the trigger covered.

What’s the difference between the Undercoverette and the standard Undercover?

The Undercoverette is chambered in .32 H&R Mag, while the standard Undercover is a .38 Special. The Undercoverette also has a slightly smaller frame and weighs less (12 oz. vs. 16 oz.). If you want less recoil and a lighter package, the Undercoverette is your pick.
