The Charter Arms Pathfinder Lite in .22 LR (brand part no. 12243) is a low-recoil revolver built to give new shooters the look, feel, and weight of a higher-caliber handgun while they build proficiency with inexpensive rimfire ammunition. Charter Arms finishes this revolver in black over a black passivate finish and equips it with adjustable sights for precise aiming at the range. The 8-round cylinder gives shooters extra rounds between reloads compared to a typical 6-shot revolver. Among revolvers in the revolvers category, the Pathfinder Lite favors new shooters and anyone who wants a low-recoil trainer that still handles like a full-size revolver.
