Question: Charter Pathfinder .22 Mag

[H. Faversham]

The currently produced Charter Arms revolvers seem to have regained general acceptance compared to the Charco company disaster in the nineties. As expected, the current Charters are said to be not as well finished as, for example, the much higher-priced S&W products.

But, concerning only performance, does anyone recommend staying away from today's Charters? I have my eye on the 4-inch Pathfinder in .22 Mag for under $400 which seems to be too good to be true.

I have three "modern" Charters. They all go bang every time. The triggers are pretty good.

I have had the 4.2” pathfinder in 22lr for about 3 months. I really like it. No problems.

Thanks, folks. That's good news.
