This revolver integrates a lightweight aluminum frame with durable stainless steel components, providing a robust yet easily carried defensive or utility firearm. Its design prioritizes operational reliability and discreet carry, making it suitable for situations demanding a compact, effective sidearm.
Key Features
Lightweight Construction
The Pathfinder Lite utilizes a high-strength aluminum alloy frame to significantly reduce carry weight, optimizing portability without compromising structural integrity. This attribute mitigates user fatigue during extended carry durations, enhancing its suitability for everyday carry.
.22 Magnum Caliber
Chambered in .22 Magnum, this revolver delivers enhanced ballistic performance over standard .22 LR, increasing effective range and terminal energy for its class. The cartridge provides a viable option for personal defense or small game applications where a compact firearm is preferred.
Stainless Steel Components
The cylinder, barrel, and critical internal mechanisms are constructed from stainless steel. This material selection ensures superior corrosion resistance and long-term durability, even in adverse environmental conditions, extending the firearm’s operational lifespan and maintaining functional integrity.
Compact Profile
Featuring a 2-inch barrel, the Pathfinder Lite maintains a minimal footprint, enabling discreet and comfortable concealed carry. The short sight radius is optimized for rapid target acquisition in close-quarters engagements, aligning with its utility as a defensive tool.
Reliable Double-Action/Single-Action Mechanism
The DA/SA trigger system provides operational versatility. The double-action mode offers a consistent pull for defensive scenarios, while the single-action mode allows for precise shot placement when greater accuracy is required. This mechanism is designed for repeatable function under various operational demands.
