I once had one of the 9mm Federal Charter Arms with the short barrel. No problems.
This Stratford one pictured below is a .38 spcl undercover. It works great...no negatives here. Its very small, light, and accurate. Its one of my favorite pocket revolvers. I changed it to DAO only with a replacement hammer from CA.
This one is .22 lr pathfinder...favorite .22 shooter.
