After a good cleaning and oiling and "breaking in" of about 200 rounds of ammo the gun works fine.

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but mine was a lemon. Right out of the gate, it keyholed every other bullet, and the dirtier it got, the worse it keyholed. Also, after a few cylinders full, the cylinder started to bind, due to heavy lead buildup on the front of the cylinder. It went back to Charter three times, they were trying to make it right, but with no success. Hold out for a Taurus, 942, if you can find one.

Nice feel. Very comfortable and so easy to carry you forget it's there. Great for easy concealment and security.

Shoots well but you can't expect bullseye groups from this basic snubnose. It will reliably hit a man sized target from a realistic close range. I don't see or use this as a defensive piece but it could be in pinch. The capacity of 8 is great for such a compact little revolver. I've had a great amount of fun dumping cylinder after cylinder of inexpensive ammo through this gun. I have had some light strikes but that may be from lack of cleaning, you really want to focus cleaning around the forcing cone, the firing pin, and under the extractor star. Not too big a deal though, just pull the trigger again. After you shoot check the screws to ensure they are still snug. Overall, it has been a solid inexpensive revolver that I foresee will last me several years of heavy use if not a lifetime. And, if it does break eventually, I should be able to send it back to Charter Arms and they will most likely remedy it for me.

Received this American made pistol on time, in perfect condition. Pistol came with two grips....wood and rubber. Caliber is 22 lr, and it has shot everything and anything I put in it. Well made, all steel, American made ...with outstanding customer service and warranty. I would recommend this pistol to anyone looking for a concealable 22 lr revolver.

Fits perfect in the hand. Was very hard to find one available. Extremely lightweight and easy to carry. Very enjoyable to shoot with ammo that is affordable. Sometimes you regret making a purchase… Not this one! Im new to Bud’s… very easy process and is now my go to for other “needs”.

I like this pathfinder .22 revolver. It is easy to load and clean. I target practice with it several times. being a .22 it is easy to shoot with no kick to it like the semi -automatic, so it makes it easy to hit the target. It is a good handgun for beginners.

I purchased this .22 because my wife struggles with semi-autos as far as jams related to shooting. I had already tried two small caliber semi-autos that did not work out. The Charter Arms seemed like the alternative. However, on our very 1st outing, the shell casings seized inside the cylinder after being fired. I cleared it out, but it happened again. I decided to try a different brand .22 ammo, but the exact same thing happened. The company said I dry fired it, which simply isn't true. I never fired it without a shell being loaded in the cylinder. I have returned the firearm for "servicing", but I am not hopeful. It seems to be well constructed, but clearly something is not right with it.

My gun was advertised as a six shot but is actually an eight shot. Bonus! The finish on the gun was nicely done with no blemishes or scratches. I was surprised to find I really liked the rubber grips that come on the gun as I was initially planning to replace them with nicer wooden grips right away. I’ll stick with the rubber grips for a while. It came with snap caps so I’ve been dry firing it to smooth out the action. The action was gritty at first but had smoothed out nicely with cleaning and use. I’ve put 200 rounds through the gun (CCI mini mags and Winchester Super X) it gets hard to extract the spent cases after a while but I’ve been able to get all of the empty shells out of the gun without resorting to tools. Unfired bullets go in and out if the cylinder with ease, even when the gun is dirty. Every round has fired out of the gun so far. Mine likes 36 grain bullets better than 40 grain, they extract easier after being fired. The accuracy is decent. It shoots point of aim at 7yards and I was able to keep all my shots on a playing card at 7 yards. There was some evidence of key-holing with some rounds, but none went off target. The cylinder refused to advance a handful of times requiring me to open the cylinder and close it again to un Jam the gun. This could be because I did not let the trigger reset fully before firing my next shot in single action, or it could be because a spent shell expanded in the cylinder and moved backwards a bit, preventing the cylinder from advancing. It’s seemed to occur with the 40 grain bullets and is something I’ll be watching with the gun in the future. The finish around the cylinder and forcing cone gets carbon on it with use and it does not come off easily. I’ve had to use a soft metal brush in addition to Hoppes 9 to get it reasonably clean after use. I like my guns immaculate between use. Overall, this is a good little gun for hiking or teaching a new shooter. I am happy with it.
