J-frame S&W's or a Charter Arms Pathfinder,,,
J-frame S&W's or a Charter Arms Target Pathfinder,,,
Both are quality guns and fit small hands.
As you can see the CA Pathfinder (left) is almost identical to the S&W Model 34 (right),,,
The biggest difference is that the Pathfinder has a full lug barrel.
Well, that's not entirely true,,,
The biggest difference is the price,,,
I paid exactly $338.00 + tax for the new Pathfinder,,,
Try finding a S&W Model 34, 43, or 63 for less that $500.00.
I was recently offered $650.00 for the Nickel 34,,,
I turned down $750.00 for my Model 63.
But the real question is,,,
How does it shoot.
Just as well as any of my S&W's,,,
The trigger and everything on the gun is still new and tight,,,
But I have put a 550 round bulk pack through it and it's getting nicer each range trip.
Nice gun,,,
