Items Like The Charter Arms Pitbull Black Nitride 40 S&W Revolver
On my old stainless steel version the inside of the cylinder was very rough, as if they made a first cut, but never finished it. I was happy to see the fit and finished on the black nitride version was much better. However, I did find the cylinder took a fair amount of effort to open and close. I cleaned and oiled the gun and went to the range. The bullets were so difficult to get in and out that it took me 15 minutes to shoot 20 rounds. I cleaned and oiled the gun again, this time paying special attention to the ejector rod, including two small holes just inside the extractor star. I also oiled the tabs that hold the cases in place and worked a bullet in and out of each chamber at least 20 times. Then I open and closed the cylinder over and over. Everything loosened up and it now functions much better.
My next big problem, as with the original gun, was far too many light primer strikes. I was using old range ammo, so I bought some high quality self defense ammo and fired ten rounds without an issue. Apparently this one is just as picky about ammo as the stainless steel version I used to have.
My overall feelings are still luck warm. I don't like triggers with grooves, so I will probably buy leather gloves to shoot this with. I don't like guns that require certain ammo to function correctly. The jury is still out on weather or not it is reliable enough for a carry weapon, and I'm not completely convinced it is accurate, but that could also be the ammo. It is not a Ruger, or Smith and Wesson, to be sure. On the other hand, I do enjoy shooting it. The finish is nice, and seems durable. It is easy to clean. You also pay a premium to shoot a rimless cartridge from a revolver without moon clips.
There is enough to like about this gun that I will give it a chance, but if this is your first, and only, gun, then the Pitbull may not be your best choice. Look for something in a 357 Magnum or 38 Special P.
