I decided enough was enough, and within the week I’d acquired a Charter Arms Pathfinder and a shoulder holster to carry it in. I found it hard to relax and enjoy my fishing. There may have been a den nearby, but I was definitely on the defensive.
I kept a careful eye out and watched where I placed my feet. Ordinarily I’d simply walk wide around angrily buzzing reptiles, but this time there seemed to be a snake wherever I wanted to step. Suddenly I discovered the rocky area was awash in bad-tempered rattlesnakes. Time will tell whether or not the Pathfinder stands up to the use of my growing boys, but as long as nothing breaks, binds, snaps, or bends, it will be just what I was looking for: a budget priced revolver that can be used to each fundamentals, hit what it’s pointed at, and not induce uncontrollable wailing from yours truly if it takes a nick or scratch along the way.Many years ago, I was fishing one of Utah’s mountain streams. In conclusion, I’m happy with this purchase at this point. And, it worked just like a revolver is supposed to: reliably and predictably. 22 bullets into a fairly tight pattern at 30 feet. The little gun managed to throw a group of. The trigger pull is a decent weight, and even in DA mode at around 12 pounds it isn’t as stiff as a Taurus. While not as smooth as refined as a Smith, it works just fine. But, I have some basic anecdotal observations. Alas, I do not have targets to show, groups to measure, or quantitative analysis like many of my other posts. I took the little Pathfinder out for the first time today for some informal shooting. As you can see, as stated, ejection is the same method as any other standard double action revolver. They aren’t necessary but they are there… which is a nice touch.
I like the recessed chambers in the Pathfinder. Especially since it only takes 3 1/2 pounds of pressure to send a. In that respect, it doesn’t bother me at all. The trigger does have a slight “hitch” before it fires… almost like a 2-stage trigger. Plus, I liked the matte stainless finish. No, it’s not as smooth and refined, but at less than $350 and with a decent trigger it showed promise. It has the standard shell loading and ejection process as a S&W and, basically, handles the same. The Pathfinder is a 6-shot traditional DA/SA revolver. Then, one day, I happened upon a little pistol I had never heard of… the Charter Arms Pathfinder. Now, I’m no wimp, but I know a good trigger pull when I see one and, frankly, the Taurus was so far from a good trigger that it was knocked out of contention immeidately. In double action, the Incredible Hulk would grimace. In single action, the pull was a little stiff but fairly crisp. The Taurus 94 seemed to be the way I was going until I pulled the trigger on a couple in the fun stores. That is, all signs except the dollar signs! I love my Smiths but at $600 (for a used specimen), I couldn’t justify a purchase for something I wanted as a “knock around” revolver. Something fairly small, light weight, yet accurate and easy to use. 22 that my young boys can learn on in the future. I own a Browning Buckmark, so I didn’t need just another rimfire. However, I just had a chance today to shoot a new little fun gun I recently purchased… the Charter Arms Pathfinder! Basically, a busy life became even busier. In that time, my wife and I welcomed baby #3, I changed jobs, etc. Well, it’s been more than awhile… it’s been a long time. It’s been awhile since I last made a post.
