There's something about running a wheelgun in .22 LR that never gets old. The Charter Arms Pathfinder takes that simple pleasure and stretches it out with an 8-round cylinder, so you're spending more time pulling the trigger and less time reloading. The 4.2 inch barrel gives you a longer sight radius than the snubby Pathfinders, which makes a real difference when you're trying to stack shots on paper or ring steel at 25 yards.
This revolver has the look, feel, and handling of a larger centerfire, which is exactly why so many people pick one up as a first handgun or a teaching gun. New shooters get to learn sight alignment, trigger control, and revolver manipulation without recoil or a big ammo bill getting in the way. It runs single or double action, so you can start folks off cocking the hammer for that light, crisp single-action break, then work up to running it double action as their skills grow. And with bulk .22 LR being about the cheapest ammo out there, a full afternoon of practice costs less than a box of most centerfire loads.
Charter Arms builds this one on a lightweight aluminum frame with an anodized stainless-tone finish, wrapped in checkered rosewood grips that give it a classic look and a grippy, comfortable hold. The rear sight is fully adjustable, so you can dial it in for your preferred ammo, whether that's cheap plinking fodder or match-grade stuff for small game and target work. A shrouded ejector rod and Charter's three-point cylinder lock-up round out the package.
Beyond the range, this Pathfinder earns its keep as a kit gun. It's light enough to ride along on hikes, camping trips, or a day on the trapline, and accurate enough for squirrels and pest control around the property. Simple, dependable, and fun. That's a combination that never goes out of style.
It's both. The Pathfinder has a traditional spurred hammer, so you can thumb it back for a light single-action trigger pull or simply pull through in double action. That makes it a great platform for teaching both styles of revolver shooting.
It's one of the better choices out there. The .22 LR has almost no recoil, the 8-round cylinder keeps reloads to a minimum, and the gun has the same feel and controls as a full-size centerfire revolver. Skills learned on the Pathfinder transfer directly to bigger wheelguns down the road.
Yes. This 4.2 inch model pairs a fixed front sight with a fully adjustable rear sight, so you can zero it for whatever load you shoot most. Since .22 LR ammo varies quite a bit in point of impact from brand to brand, that adjustability is a genuinely useful feature.
It shines as a range and training revolver, but it's also a handy kit gun. The light aluminum frame makes it easy to pack on hikes or camping trips, and the accuracy from the 4.2 inch barrel is plenty for plinking, small game, and pest control.
