The Charter Arms Pathfinder Lite 22LR revolver delivers reliable rimfire performance in a lightweight aluminum frame design. This 8-shot revolver combines the stopping power of a traditional revolver with the economy and low recoil of .22 LR ammunition, making it suitable for target shooting, small game hunting, and training applications.
What Makes This Different
The Pathfinder Lite features an aluminum frame construction that reduces overall weight compared to steel-framed alternatives while maintaining structural integrity. The 8-round cylinder capacity exceeds most .22 LR revolvers in this class, which typically hold 6 rounds. The distinctive lavender anodized aluminum frame provides corrosion resistance and a unique aesthetic that stands out from standard black or stainless finishes.
Key Features
- 8-round cylinder capacity for extended shooting sessions
- 4.2-inch stainless steel barrel with matte finish for durability
- Lightweight aluminum frame with lavender anodized coating
- Black finger-grooved rubber grips for enhanced control and comfort
- Exposed hammer design allows single and double-action operation
- Matte stainless steel cylinder resists corrosion and wear
- Fixed sights for reliable target acquisition
The .22 LR chambering provides versatility for multiple shooting disciplines including plinking, target competition, and pest control. The revolver's design eliminates feeding issues common with semi-automatic .22 firearms, ensuring consistent ignition of various .22 LR ammunition types. Weather-resistant finishes on both barrel and cylinder maintain performance in outdoor conditions.
