Description
Charter Arms has been building snub-nose revolvers longer than just about anyone, and the Pink Lady brings that experience to the rimfire world with some personality to spare. This is a Pathfinder Lite at heart, meaning you get the same look, feel, and handling as a bigger-bore revolver, just chambered in .22 LR so a full afternoon at the range costs about as much as lunch. The anodized pink aluminum frame is matched with a stainless steel barrel and cylinder, so it stands out on the shelf without giving up durability where it counts.
Why the Pink Lady Works So Well for New Shooters
Recoil in .22 LR is next to nothing, and that changes everything for someone learning the fundamentals. Instead of fighting flinch, you can focus on grip, sight picture, and trigger press. The full-size black rubber grip fills the hand better than most small-frame revolvers, and the double action/single action trigger lets you practice both trigger styles on one gun. Cock the hammer for a light, crisp single action break, or run it straight double action for defensive-style practice. A transfer bar safety means the revolver only fires with a deliberate trigger pull, which is exactly what you want in a training gun.
Light Enough to Carry All Day
Thanks to the aluminum frame, the Pink Lady weighs in at a feather-light 12 ounces. Toss it in a range bag or pack it along on a camping trip and you'll barely notice it's there. The 2-inch barrel keeps the whole package compact, and the fixed sights are simple, snag-free, and always zeroed.
Charter Arms Pink Lady at the Range
With 8 rounds in the cylinder, you get more trigger time between reloads than most wheelguns offer. Plinking cans, punching paper, or introducing a spouse or kid to their first handgun, this little revolver handles it all with a smile. Simple to load, simple to clean, and built in the USA by a company that has been doing revolvers right for decades.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Charter Arms Pink Lady a good first revolver?
It's one of the better starter wheelguns out there. The .22 LR chambering keeps recoil and noise to a minimum, the full-size rubber grip is comfortable for smaller and larger hands alike, and the DA/SA action lets a new shooter learn both trigger styles. Add in cheap rimfire ammo and it's an easy gun to put a lot of practice rounds through.
How much does the Pink Lady weigh?
Right around 12 ounces unloaded, thanks to its aluminum frame. That's roughly half the weight of many all-steel small-frame revolvers, so it's comfortable to hold for long range sessions and easy to pack along wherever you're headed.
Can the Pink Lady fire both double action and single action?
Yes. You can pull the trigger straight through in double action, or thumb back the exposed hammer for a lighter, shorter single action pull. That versatility makes it a great trainer, since dry-fire and live-fire practice in double action builds trigger control that carries over to any revolver.
Is this the same as the Charter Arms Pathfinder?
Essentially, yes. The Pink Lady is part of the Pathfinder Lite family, sharing the same 2-inch stainless barrel, stainless cylinder, and rimfire action. The difference is the lightweight aluminum frame finished in pink anodizing, which trims weight and gives it a look all its own.
