There's a lot to like about a rimfire revolver that handles like a centerfire but costs pennies per trigger pull to feed. The Charter Arms Pathfinder Target Lite is built around a 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum frame, keeping the whole package right around 21 ounces while still giving you the balance and feel of a bigger-bore wheelgun. That makes it a natural fit for new revolver owners learning trigger control, experienced hands who want an affordable practice gun, or anyone who just enjoys burning through a brick of .22 on a Saturday.
The Target version of the Pathfinder stretches the barrel out to 4.2 inches, which adds sight radius and steadies your hold compared to the snubbie variants. Up front you get Charter's LitePipe sight, which picks up light and draws your eye quickly, paired with a fully adjustable rear sight so you can dial in your zero for whatever ammo your gun happens to like. The eight-shot cylinder means fewer reloads between strings, and the exposed standard hammer lets you shoot single action for precise work or double action for practice reps.
The black anodized frame is matched with black passivate barrel and cylinder components, giving the revolver a clean, uniform look that holds up to regular handling. The full-size rubber combat grip fills the hand nicely and soaks up what little recoil a .22 LR produces, so long range sessions stay comfortable. At 8.45 inches overall, it carries easily in a pack or range bag.
Charter Arms has been building American-made revolvers for decades, and the Pathfinder line has a loyal following as a trail companion, plinker, and trainer. This Target Lite configuration hits a sweet spot: light enough to tote all day, accurate enough to make tin cans and paper targets interesting, and simple enough that it'll run just about anything you feed it. If you've been looking for a do-it-all rimfire revolver, this one checks the boxes.
It's one of the better starting points out there. The .22 LR chambering means almost no recoil and cheap ammo, so you can practice a lot without flinching or breaking the bank. It also has the size and feel of a larger-caliber revolver, so the skills you build transfer directly if you move up later.
Yes. It has a standard exposed hammer, so you can cock it manually for a lighter single-action trigger pull when you're going for precision, or run it double action for faster follow-up shots and trigger practice. Having both options makes it a versatile trainer.
The Target Lite comes with Charter's LitePipe front sight, which gathers light and stands out well against most targets, plus a fully adjustable rear sight. That lets you fine-tune your point of impact for different .22 LR loads, which is handy since rimfire ammo can vary quite a bit from brand to brand.
The Target Lite pairs the longer 4.2 inch barrel with a lightweight 7075 aluminum frame, bringing it in around 21 ounces. Standard Pathfinders come with shorter barrels or heavier steel construction, so this version gives you a longer sight radius for accuracy without the extra weight. This particular model wears the black rubber combat grip.
