Here are some shots of a.38 Spl Undercover that passed through my hands. (Traded some airguns for it, traded it off for a camera.) This was a nicely finished revolver, slightly smaller than a J-frame S&W. This one is marked 'Bridgeport, Conn', but shipped with a (numbers matching) box from Stratford, CT. Dating a Charter's manufacture is always a challenge!
@docfox, mine is only a few numbers higher than yours and already marked Stratford on the barrel. I know mine is from 1973, so yours must be from about 1972 (still made in Bridgeport but sold out of Stratford).
Here is mine out of Stratford in 1973. Bought it from a retired LEO in 87 and carried it ever since - 28 years - and put about a 1000 rounds or more through it, which isn't a lot but just enough to stay attuned to it (it really isn't a fun gun to shoot but then again it was not meant to be a range or plinking gun). It never failed me! If you have carried that revolver for 28 years and it looks to still have 92-95% bluing.how do you carry it?
I have never been able to keep a blued revolver or semi looking that nice when carrying it daily in a holster. I am all ears!! I carry it in an older # 2 leather paddle holster made by safety speed out in Montebello, CA. And it basically stays in that holster 24/7 save when I check it and wipe it down about once a month. I should check it over before each use but I don't since I live alone and carry in my case is required about twice a week for a few hours at a time. The posted photo is old already but the little charter still has most of the bluing remaining to this day with wear starting to show only on the grip frame, barrel tip and cylinder surface.
What usually kills the bluing is the constant 'in & out' of the holster and excessive horse play. Even when carried daily a good suede lined holster can help preserve the finish (I think!). But on the whole: I leave that gun in the holster when not needed. If they test fired that gun I wonder how it made it out of the factory? If they test fired it that is. It has been a long time since I reloaded 9 mm and cannot recall whether the rim thickness varies much, causing some to rub. I recently got a Pitbull back, and they replaced the cylinder and ejector without my even knowing it was needed.
