Charter Arms has announced the release of the Pathfinder II Series, a new generation of .22 Long Rifle revolvers designed for plinking, small-game hunting, and affordable training. The Pathfinder II introduces an eight-shot cylinder, a 3.5-inch barrel, and adjustable rear sights, giving shooters an ideal mix of accuracy, manageability, and compact size. The revolver line is available in three variants: Black Passivate (model 12235), Stainless Steel (model 72235), and OD Green with Black Passivate (model 52236), allowing buyers to select a finish that fits their personal preference and style. At just 20 ounces, the Pathfinder II remains lightweight, making it easy to carry on the range or into the backcountry. Charter Arms has equipped the revolvers with compact rubber grips to absorb recoil and improve control, and the combination of a longer barrel and adjustable sights offers a better sight radius for precision shooting. The eight-shot capacity represents a step up from traditional six-shot rimfire revolvers, giving shooters more trigger time between reloadsideal for training repetitions or casual target shooting sessions. Charter Arms markets the Pathfinder II as a perfect revolver for new shooters learning the fundamentals. Chambered in .22 LR, it provides minimal recoil and low noise, encouraging shooters to focus on proper grip, trigger control, and sight alignment without the distraction of heavy recoil or muzzle blast. For experienced shooters, the revolver offers an economical way to practice double-action trigger pulls, work on presentation and draw drills, and get in high-volume training sessions at a fraction of the cost of centerfire ammunition. In addition to training, the Pathfinder II is well suited for small-game hunting, pest control, and general trail use. The 3.5-inch barrel length strikes a balance between portability and ballistic performance, ensuring sufficient velocity for dispatching varmints or taking small game at close ranges. The adjustable rear sight allows users to dial in their preferred point of impact for different .22 LR loads, from high-velocity hunting ammo to subsonic training rounds. MSRP for the Pathfinder II Series is listed at $510.61. This pricing places the revolvers in direct competition with other rimfire revolvers from brands like Ruger and Smith & Wesson but with the advantage of an eight-round capacity and Charter Arms reputation for solid, American-made construction. The revolvers are manufactured in Shelton, Connecticut, continuing the companys tradition of domestic production. For shooting instructors and ranges, the Pathfinder II could prove to be a practical choice as a line gun for classes. Its low recoil, adjustable sights, and capacity make it an effective tool for introducing new shooters to revolvers while also providing a cost-effective platform for fundamentals training. Charter Arms recommends routine cleaning to maintain reliability, particularly when shooting bulk-pack rimfire ammunition, which can be dirtier than premium loads.
