Bought a Bridgeport Undercover for an off-duty weapon when I was a new patrolman in the early 70's. Couldn't afford a S&W and found the Charter for a great price at a discount store in a clearance sale. Shot it quite a bit and it was a good shooter and weighed only 16 oz. as opposed to 19 oz. for a S&W j-frame. The wood grips were very small though and replaced them with Herrett Shooting Ace which compromised concealability a bit but were comfortable. In 1974 finances were a little better and I bought a new S&W m36 and never looked back.

Sold the undercover to a fellow officer who, along with me, is now retired. He still has the little charter and it still shoots fine. I still have the m36 too and it has served me well.
