We take a quick look at Charter Arms’ new Coyote line of .380 ACP snub-nosed revolvers.

You don’t see .380 ACP revolvers every day, but anyone interested in owning one has just been given another option in the form of the Charter Arms Coyote.

Because .380 ACP is a rimless cartridge that was designed for use in autoloaders, Charter Arms Coyote revolvers must be loaded using moon clips. Each gun will ship with two TK Customs moon clips to feed the 5-shot cylinder. Additional moon clips are available for purchase separately as well. Sporting 2-inch barrels, these are double-action/single-action guns with exposed hammers and standard snub-nosed revolver sights. One trick up the Coyote’s sleeve is that the barrels are also ported to help reduce recoil.

Charter Arms Coyote revolvers are relatively lightweight at 14 ounces, mostly thanks to their aluminum frames and the lightening cuts in their underlugs. They’re available with either a standard metal-colored frame or with a pink or lavender finish, but all three versions will ship with checkered rosewood grips. The MSRP for all Coyote models is $448.14 and they’re available now.
