The Pathfinder has been part of the Charter Arms lineup almost since the company opened its doors, and the Pathfinder II is the 2025 refresh of that long-running rimfire kit gun. This version pairs a 3.5 inch barrel with an 8-round cylinder in .22 LR, and it splits the difference nicely between Charter's snubby rimfires and their full target models. The frame is machined from 7075 aircraft aluminum with an OD green anodized finish, while the barrel and cylinder wear a black passivate treatment. The two-tone combo looks sharp in person and keeps the whole package at a very carry-friendly 20 ounces.
Like every Charter Arms revolver, this one runs double action or single action off a one-piece frame, with a swing-out cylinder and an exposed hammer you can cock for deliberate shots. The sights are a real strength here: an aluminum ramp front paired with an adjustable rear, so you can dial in your point of impact for whatever bulk ammo you feed it. The compact rubber grip fills the hand well and makes long sessions comfortable, and since it's a .22, recoil is basically a rumor. Eight rounds per cylinder means more trigger time between reloads, which matters when you're working with a new shooter or burning through a brick of ammo on a Saturday.
This is the revolver you hand someone learning trigger control and sight alignment, but it's just as much fun for anyone who grew up plinking cans with a rimfire wheelgun. It works for small game duty, trail carry, or keeping your double-action skills sharp without the cost of centerfire practice. It has the feel and balance of a bigger revolver, so the habits you build here transfer straight over to your .38 or .357. Made in the USA and backed by Charter's lifetime warranty, the Pathfinder II is the kind of gun that ends up getting shot more than anything else in the safe.
It's one of the better starting points out there. The .22 LR chambering means almost no recoil and cheap practice ammo, while the size, weight, and double-action trigger mimic a centerfire revolver closely enough that the skills carry over. The 8-round cylinder also keeps new shooters on the trigger longer between reloads.
The Pathfinder II is Charter Arms' 2025 update to the long-running Pathfinder line. It uses a lightweight 7075 aircraft aluminum frame with an anodized finish, sits between the compact and target-length Pathfinders with its 3.5 inch barrel, and bumps capacity to 8 rounds. This particular model adds the OD green frame over black passivate barrel and cylinder for a two-tone look.
Yes. It wears an aluminum ramp front sight paired with an adjustable rear, so you can fine-tune your zero for the ammo you shoot most. That's a nice touch on a rimfire revolver at this size, since .22 loads can vary quite a bit in point of impact.
You can. The exposed hammer lets you thumb it back for a lighter, crisper single-action pull, which is great for slow-fire accuracy work or small game. Run it double action when you want to build trigger control for defensive-style practice.
