#.32H&RMagnum

When it comes to wheelguns and revolvers we love to discuss the “big headliners” of the industry in Smith & Wesson, Ruger, Taurus, and even some lesser-known companies that are quite high-end like Korth and Manurhin. For whatever reason it might be (and I only notice this when people discuss revolvers), we skip over the more affordable brands when giving wheelguns press coverage. You don’t hear a lot about Heritage Manufacturing Inc (Heritage Mfg) or a company like, say, Charter Arms. Both of which make cheap yet highly serviceable revolvers. They are never showpieces or considered high-end, but that’s OK. These are wheelguns that continue to go BANG! as cheap as their price tag is, and they still get the job done. So, why does Charter Arms get overlooked?… This is a loaded question with no one precise answer, but I am going to simplify my answer and softly turn the mirror back on them: it’s a bit of Charter Arms’ fault. Recently, I stumbled across the Charter Arms Professional on the Charter Arms website. The Charter Arms Professional is a classy, attractive, and slightly improved version that stands out from the litany of snub-nose revolvers currently in their portfolio. The Charter Arms website, once again, only lists 1 Professional model revolver chambered oddly in .32 H&R Magnum, but did you know that Charter Arms manufactures 6 unique Professional models and that it is a completely built-out series?!?!… Yeah, I had no idea until about 1 week ago, and just like you – the well-informed, distinguished readers that you are – I consider myself pretty “tapped into” the revolver market. So, let’s dig into the Charter Arms Professional revolver and its entire series more thoroughly to see what Charter Arms has got goin’ on!
