The Pathfinder is configured with a 3-inch steel barrel and a blued steel frame and cylinder, pairing compact dimensions with full-metal construction. Its 6-shot, fluted cylinder keeps the profile trim while maintaining traditional rimfire capacity.
It operates in double-action/single-action and uses a transfer-bar safety. The smooth-faced trigger and exposed hammer with a checkered spur provide positive control in both DA and SA modes.
Sighting is straightforward with a fixed setup: a serrated ramp front sight and a grooved topstrap rear notch. Controls include a left-side sliding cylinder latch, and the ejector rod features a knurled tip with no underlug or shroud.
Checkered wood stocks with Charter Arms medallions complete the classic look. The barrel carries a Bridgeport, Connecticut address associated with the company’s early production era, and the factory designation is Model 2223.
