Posted May 19, 2023
Charter Arms Mag Pug Revolver with Crimson Trace Lasergrips
The Charter Arms Mag Pug revolver with Crimson Trace lasergrips is a remarkable combination of form, function and reliable performance. It is a medium frame "six-shooter" revolver that utilizes a single-action/double-action trigger system with an external hammer. The revolver in its entirety is constructed with a steel frame, cylinder and barrel. Furthermore, the Mag Pug measures to be 6.25 inches in length with an overall weight of just 29 ounces. This makes this particular revolver an option suitable for either a concealed carry situation or a home defense strategy.
Added to the Mag Pug is the powerful Crimson Trace lasergrips system. This system is one of the most innovative defensive tools available on the market for handguns. It offers a flawless integration into the Mag Pug through it's seamless installation on the semi-rubber textured collection of cocking serrations that is the Mag Pug's signature handle. This system gives the shooter the advantage of an enhanced sight picture through the use of a bright red laser that flashes an intense dot on the target. The ability to acquire and see the dot on the target with this system gives the shooter a far greater level of accuracy and confidence. Best of all, the Crimson Trace lasergrips system operates with an ambidextrous activation switch located on both grips that allows for easy operation with either hand.
Of course, accuracy is a key factor in the performance of any defensive weapon. The Mag Pug with its lasergrips live up to its reputation for accuracy through its aggressive single-action/double-action trigger that offers a smooth trigger action and consistent let-off. The mag Pug also contains a cleverly designed Barrel Length to Cylinder Gap (BLTCG) ratio of 0.0055, twice the accuracy of a standard revolver, making for tight, controlled groupings downrange. This particular feature gives the Mag Pug greater accuracy than most revolvers in its category.
The Mag Pug is also one of the only revolvers on the market to include an internal firing pin safety. This added safety affords the operator reasonable assurance of safety when the firearm is not in use. This particular gun will only fire when the trigger has been pulled allowing the shooter an added layer of security when the weapon is not in use.
Unlike many other revolvers the Mag Pug also offers a non-snag design which makes it easily concealed and carried. The Mag Pug also maintains a low profile design along with its sleek textured finish which adds to its attractiveness to those who are constantly on the go or spending extended periods of time outdoors. All-in-all, this weapon offers a distinct advantage for anyone seeking a reliable, concealed carry option or even a home defense weapon.
Finally, the Charter Arms Mag Pug with Crimson Trace lasergrips is an excellent choice for those seeking a quality, reliable and accurate defensive handgun. It is relatively lightweight and easy to maneuver making it suitable for a variety of situations. The added Crimson Trace lasergrips system offers a great sight picture to the shooter and a tremendous level of accuracy even for novice shooters. It is a reliable option for anyone seeking a concealed carry or home defense weapon.
