Handguns Descriptions

Charco (former Charter Arms Corp.) Earthborn

The Charter Arms Earthborn Undercover Lite (MSRP $422) weighs a mere 12 ounces unloaded and just over 16.5 ounces when loaded with five Winchester 158-grain lead round-nose cartridges. In a word: light — and, thus, very easy to carry all day. Ironically, shooting such a lightweight revolver isn’t full of drama, thanks mainly to the rubber grips which fill your hand and accommodate your pinky finger. So you get maximum purchase on a minimally framed gun shooting a defensive round at the bottom of the self-defense-caliber spectrum. Yes, there are better self-defense rounds than .38 Special, but you shouldn’t think you’re underserved by this cartridge. In fact, if you shoot a .38 Special well and like snub-nosed revolvers, you’ll be impressed with the Earthborn.

Glock 23

The G17 Gen5 features a no finger grooved, multiple backstrapped, rough textured frame with hundreds of miniature spikes which results in remarkable traction for extreme environments and gloved operators. The frame also features a smooth trigger, reversible mag release, and ambidextrous slide stop. The magazine comes with a floor plate which is extended at the front for faster magazine change, and a orange follower, while the flared mag-well makes it easier to funnel the magazine into the mag-well. Glock\'s nDLC finish provides a tougher, more durable protection against corrosion and scratching. The Glock Marksman barrel features a barrel rifling which delivers improved accuracy. his Glock Gen5 model has AmeriGlo night sights (green with orange outline front and green rear) and a 10-round capacity.
