Product Overview

The Charter Arms Pathfinder Lite .22LR revolver in lavender and stainless is a lightweight, compact wheelgun built for shooters who want fun and practicality without unnecessary bulk. At just 24 ounces, this 8-shot rimfire revolver is easy to carry and handle, making it a solid choice for casual target shooting, small-game hunting, or simply enjoying time at the range with minimal recoil. The lavender-and-stainless two-tone finish gives it a distinctive look that stands out without sacrificing the durability of stainless steel controls and cylinder.

The 4.2-inch barrel strikes a balance between sight radius and portability, while the adjustable rear sight and fixed front blade let you dial in your shots without gunsmithing. The small aluminum frame keeps weight down, and the full black rubber grip with finger grooves provides solid control even during extended shooting sessions. The standard hammer operates smoothly and reliably, typical of Charter's no-nonsense revolver engineering.

This is a straightforward, unpretentious .22 revolver—no frills, just honest function. The 8-shot capacity in .22LR means more trigger time between reloads, and the rimfire cartridge is affordable and pleasant to shoot. Whether you're introducing a new shooter to revolvers, running steel plates, or keeping a backpack gun for camp duty, the Pathfinder Lite delivers dependable performance in a package you'll actually want to carry.
