Charter Arms guns work fine if you buy them, and LEAVE THEM ALONE! DO NOT PUT NEW SPRINGS IN THEM! DO NOT TRY TO DO ACTION JOBS ON THEM! JUST SHOOT THEM! You can change the grips if you want. If you do that, other than one that is a lemon, they will work fine. I have owned several of them over the years, and have three now (a 38, a 22lr and a 22mag).
I have also gunsmithed them, mostly reassembling them for folks who did not listen to my advise above and brought them in to me in baggies to be put back together. The hammers can be changed pretty easily, and in fact the factory sells a bobbed hammer that you can put in yourself. The cylinder latch is overly complicated with a lot of little parts that are hard to put back together. (the factory sells a tool for this on their website)
The dealer who does my transactions for me has sold a few of the new 327 guns, and quite a bit of ammo for the ones he has sold, and his customers have been happy with them.
just my two cents................
