The Charter Arms Professional IV 73230 is a large-frame revolver chambered in .32 H&R Magnum with a 7-shot capacity, featuring a 3-inch matte stainless steel barrel and cylinder. An anodized aluminum frame supports finger-grooved wood grips, with a LitePipe front sight and fixed rear sight included as standard equipment. At approximately 22 ounces, the revolver balances lightweight carry characteristics with structural strength and reliability.
The exposed hammer enables both double- and single-action operation across the 7-shot capacity. This revolver safely accommodates .32 S&W and .32 S&W Long cartridges in addition to its primary .32 H&R Magnum chambering, offering flexibility in ammunition selection. The .32 H&R Magnum generates substantially more power than .32 S&W Long or .32 ACP loads, while producing significantly less recoil than .38 Special +P or .357 Magnum ammunition.
The matte stainless steel barrel and cylinder resist corrosion and deliver a refined aesthetic suitable for everyday use. The bore is button-rifled with eight grooves rather than six, improving gas seal integrity and reducing bullet deformation. A frame-mounted transfer bar safety positioned between the hammer and firing pin prevents discharge if the revolver is dropped. Manufactured in the U.S., the Professional IV delivers compact reliability with controlled recoil, making it well-suited for personal defense and target practice.
