Though the grips are ill-fit, hugging over the trigger-guard and the backstrap of the grip frame, the rest of the gun appeared to be solid.

To finish out the presentation, the Pathfinder comes with the same bulbous, yet hand-filling rubber grips that Charter Arms puts on most of their guns. There are no manual safeties to think about, but Charter revolvers–like Rugers–use a transfer bar safety that prevents the gun from firing unless the trigger is depressed. The cylinder holds six rounds of 22 Magnum ammo and the sights consist of an unmoving front blade and a groove in the top strap of the receiver. The cylinder release on the left side is thumbed forward and the cylinder swings to the side for loading and unloading with an ejector rod to knock out your empty shells all at once. The gun comes with an exposed hammer that may be cocked for a lighter, shorter trigger pull for target work. The revolver may be fired in double-action by simply pressing the trigger. Operationally, the Pathfinder Lite is a conventional double-action revolver. The barrel, cylinder, cylinder release, and hammer spur are left in a matte stainless finish. Mine came with a two-inch barrel and a black-anodized aluminum frame. The rear faces/edges of the different model's cylinders are machined differently, also.The Pathfinder Lite comes in a few different barrel configurations and frame colors. The newer/stainless cylinders are much longer than the earlier gun's, and ergo, it's barrel barely pokesw through the front of the cylinder frame while the older gun's barrel extends over 1/4" into the cylinder window, with that cylinder accordingly shorter. 22 mag cylinders are NOT interchangeable between the revolvers.

The two different generation revolver's cylinders, AND the amount that the barrel throat protrudes through the frame into the cylinder opening, is vastly different - and the. 22 Mag is slightly more accurate than the newer stainless gun, in either caliber - but that may be a result of the newer gun's sights color being the same color as the rest of the gun, and being lost during firing/aiming. The LR cylinder ( which is the primary cylinder that the barrel is marked for) is slightly more accurate in my dual-cylinder gun - see the left target, above. The other is a new stainless 4" Target Pathfinder Dual Cylinder.
