Product Overview
The Charter Arms Pathfinder Lite .22 WMR revolver is engineered to provide a practical and reliable firearm platform for a range of applications, from foundational skill development and consistent range training to responsible personal defense scenarios. Chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, this 8-shot revolver delivers a controlled recoil impulse, facilitating extended shooting sessions and accurate shot placement.
Key Features
Optimized Lightweight Construction
The Charter Arms Pathfinder Lite integrates an aircraft-grade aluminum frame, precision-machined to mitigate overall weight. This design characteristic enhances portability and maneuverability, making the revolver suitable for consistent carry and comfortable handling during extended use. The “Lite” designation is directly reflective of this design philosophy.
Durable Component Integration
Both the 2-inch barrel and the 8-round cylinder are fabricated from matte stainless steel. This material selection ensures robust corrosion resistance and contributes to a prolonged service life, maintaining functional integrity under consistent operational demands.
Enhanced User Interface and Control
A black, finger-grooved rubber grip is factory-installed, providing a secure and consistent purchase. This ergonomic design optimizes firearm manipulation and mitigates perceived recoil, promoting greater shooter control. The exposed hammer mechanism permits both double-action (DA) for rapid deployment and single-action (SA) for precise shot placement, allowing for operational flexibility as conditions dictate.
Versatile Operational Profile
This revolver is a considered choice for new shooters developing fundamental firearm skills due to its manageable recoil characteristics. For experienced users, it offers a lightweight, low-recoil option for consistent training or as a discreet personal defense firearm. Its compact design facilitates seamless integration into an existing shooting range equipment setup or as a primary defensive tool, particularly for those who prioritize portability.
