There's a reason so many experienced revolver folks keep a .22 in the safe. Ammo is cheap, the report is mild, recoil is basically nonexistent, and you can rack up more trigger time in one session than a month of centerfire practice. The Charter Arms Pathfinder Target takes that formula and wraps it in matte stainless with the weight and feel of a bigger-bore wheelgun, so the fundamentals you sharpen here carry straight over to your .38 or .357.
The Pathfinder Target wears the longest barrel Charter Arms puts on a revolver, and it makes a difference. The 4.2 inch stainless tube with its full underlug balances the gun nicely in hand and gives you a longer sight radius for tighter groups. Up top, a fixed front ramp pairs with an adjustable rear sight, so you can dial in your point of impact for whatever bulk ammo your gun happens to favor. The exposed hammer makes deliberate single-action work easy, with a clean, light break that rewards good trigger discipline.
The full-size rubber grip has finger grooves and checkering that fill the hand well, even for folks with larger mitts, and the six-round cylinder keeps the plinking rhythm going. At around 24 ounces, it carries the heft of a serious revolver without wearing you out, which also makes it a natural trail companion for hikes and small game country. The matte stainless finish over the barrel and cylinder shrugs off weather and range wear, and the whole package is made in Shelton, Connecticut.
Whether you're introducing someone new to handguns, keeping your own revolver skills honest on a budget, or just want a reliable rimfire for turning tin cans into confetti, the Pathfinder Target covers a lot of ground for one gun. Bring a few different brands of ammo on your first trip out. Finding the load your particular gun shoots best is half the fun with any .22.
It's one of the better starting points out there. The .22 LR chambering means almost no recoil and very little muzzle blast, but the gun still has the size and heft of a centerfire revolver. That combination lets a new shooter build real fundamentals that transfer directly to larger calibers later on.
Yes, the rear sight is fully adjustable, which is a big part of what sets the Target model apart from the snub-nose Pathfinders. The front sight is a fixed ramp. Since every .22 revolver tends to favor certain ammo, the adjustable rear lets you zero the gun to whatever load groups best for you.
The 4.2 inch barrel is the longest Charter Arms offers, and it gives you a longer sight radius plus a full underlug that adds pleasant muzzle-forward balance. That translates to steadier aiming and better practical accuracy at the range. The shorter 2 inch versions are easier to pack, but this one is the pick for target work and plinking.
Range training, plinking, and general woods duty are its sweet spots. Rimfire ammo is inexpensive enough for high-volume practice, and the low recoil makes it ideal for introducing family members to handgun basics. Plenty of owners also carry it as a lightweight trail gun for small game and pest duty.
