Charter Arms has been building the Pathfinder in one form or another for the better part of six decades, and the Pathfinder II is the freshest take on that old kit gun idea: a light, simple rimfire revolver you can toss in a pack and forget about until you need it. This version steps up to .22 WMR, which gives you noticeably more reach and thump than a standard .22 LR without adding recoil worth mentioning. With eight rounds in the cylinder and a 3.5-inch barrel, it splits the difference between a snubby and a full target revolver nicely.
The frame is machined from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum with an anodized finish, paired with steel working components, which is how Charter keeps the whole package around 19 ounces. That is trail-gun territory, light enough for a hip holster or a chest rig all day. The OD green and black color scheme looks sharp and holds up well to outdoor use. Like every Charter Arms wheelgun, it runs on a one-piece frame with a swing-out cylinder and a double-action/single-action trigger, so the manual of arms is about as simple as handguns get.
A lot of small revolvers make you fight a shallow fixed notch. Not here. The Pathfinder II wears a bright orange aluminum ramp up front that your eye picks up fast, matched with a fully adjustable rear sight so you can dial in your preferred .22 WMR load. The compact rubber grips fill the hand better than their size suggests and keep things planted through quick double-action strings.
Small game, pest control around the property, plinking sessions, teaching a new shooter the ropes, or just riding along on hikes and fishing trips, this is the kind of revolver that ends up getting used more than anything else in the safe. Made in the USA by a company that has done rimfire revolvers right for over 60 years.
No, and this trips up a lot of folks new to rimfire magnums. The .22 WMR case is longer and slightly larger in diameter than .22 LR, so LR rounds will not headspace properly in a WMR chamber and firing them can cause split cases and poor accuracy. Stick to .22 WMR ammunition in this cylinder.
The biggest change is the frame, which is now machined from 7075 aircraft-grade aluminum with an anodized finish to shave weight and improve balance. The Pathfinder II also gets a high-visibility orange ramp front sight paired with an adjustable rear, plus a 3.5-inch barrel length that sits between the compact and target versions of the original Pathfinder line.
That is exactly the role this revolver was built for. At around 19 ounces you barely notice it on your belt or in a pack, and the .22 WMR chambering gives you enough punch for small game and pests at practical distances. The adjustable sights let you zero for your preferred load, which matters since .22 Mag ammo varies quite a bit between brands.
Yes, it is a traditional double-action/single-action revolver with an exposed hammer. You can run it double action for fast follow-up shots or thumb the hammer back for a lighter, crisper single-action pull when you want to squeeze the most accuracy out of it. The swing-out 8-round cylinder makes loading and unloading quick and simple.
