What are your thoughts on this unique firearm? It seems to be neither fish nor fowl but I am intrigued by the concept.

I see some people posting on some bushcraft sites having used them for small game hunting. Sometimes with a brace and other accoutrements.

I have been toying with the idea of one set up as a foraging firearm. Small game and plinking in general. What are your thoughts? Thank you .

We have had them in our gun shop but hard

to sell. Something like a good long barrel 22 LR pistol with a scope on it should do just as well without being hard to carry. Or even a TC with a 10 inch barrel chambered in 22 Magnum would be a lot less bulky.

I was so excited about the idea of a Charger, I had my LGS special order one, and gave it to myself for Christmas 2007.
Put a 3-12 Burris on it and made all sorts of plans of what I could/would do with it.

All I've ever done is sat at the bench and shot metal chickens and pigs with it.

And as much as I love handguns, I would rather spend the day shooting my custom heavy barrel 10/22.

I think most are fired from the shoulder with a wrist brace

weren't really a thing when I bought my charger.
But I could possibly see the appeal of putting one on a Charger and adding a threaded barrel & suppressor.
