Owners of the Charter Arms Pathfinder II appreciate it as a lightweight, easy-handling rimfire magnum revolver. The .22 Mag chambering keeps recoil very mild, and the 8-round cylinder gets mentioned as a practical advantage over most small-frame revolvers in this class.

The rubber grips draw mixed reactions. Some find them just right for a gun this size, while others swap them out for wood or aftermarket options fairly quickly. The exposed hammer is a consistent plus for those who want the option to cock single-action for precise shots at distance.

Build quality opinions sit in the middle. Charter Arms has a loyal following that considers the Pathfinder II a solid working revolver, but critics point to fit and finish that doesn't match premium brands at higher price points. The trigger pull in double-action mode tends to be on the heavier side, which is the most common complaint among new owners.
