100% American-Made Pocket Revolver Built for Real-World Carry

Charter Arms has been manufacturing revolvers in the United States since 1964, and the new Charter Arms Boomer continues that legacy with a purpose-built design focused on deep concealment, reliability, and simplicity. Made entirely in Shelton, Connecticut, the Boomer is a compact, snag-free revolver designed for everyday carry without compromise.

In this video overview, Charter Arms introduces the Boomer and walks through the features that make it one of the most practical pocket revolvers on the market today.

Charter Arms Boomer: Built to Carry, Built to Work

The Boomer features a 1 7/8-inch ported barrel, available in either blued or stainless steel, and is engineered for fast presentation and controllability in a compact package. With no exposed hammer and a rubber grip designed for concealment, the Boomer draws smoothly from pockets or holsters without snagging.

Instead of traditional front and rear sights, the Boomer uses Charter Arms’ trench-style sighting system, allowing the revolver to naturally index on target while maintaining a clean, low-profile silhouette.

Weighing in at approximately 21 ounces, the Boomer balances shootability with comfort for all-day carry.

Caliber Options for Versatile Carry

The Charter Arms Boomer is offered in multiple defensive calibers to suit different preferences and needs:
