Smith recently brought back the Model 63 22 revolver which is a 5' barreled J-frame and really a pretty nice little revovler. It is easier to hit what you are aiming at with the 4 or 6 inch barrel and they aren't really bad to carry in a belt holster. I learned that I prefer 4' or 6' revolvers for general use and ones made by either Colt or Smith & Wesson due to the overall quality of the product. We all play around which is part of the fun. But you will most likely shoot it in single action anyway unless you are playing around. Since I have never owned a Charter Arms 22, I would say you can expect a revolver that works and has a strong trigger. We all have to make our way in the gun ownership world and form our opinions based on our experience.

I am not going to damn the less expensive 22 revolvers just because they don't say 'Smith & Wesson' or have a Colt pony on them. I really liked it for a while until I shot some of the more expensive 22's and realized what I had been putting up with for the sake of price. My first 22 revolver was a H&R 999 Sportsman (6' barrel, 9 shot, top break design). Other short barreled possibilites include the Smith Model 34 (used). It is one of the better companions to have with you out in the woods. Yeah, I think you need a good 22 revolver. Last edited by 22-rimfire Decemat 12:20 PM. You never said what your intended use is which affects by choice of barrel length and so forth. Only Heritage Rough Rider will probably not stand the test of time. I have not seen the Pathfinder in the flesh and now you have me interested. Most will last you 40 years including ones made my H&R (used) which I consider about the best of the less expnsive 22 revolvers. Things like finish, cylinder gap, sights, and triggers tend to be better or more consistant with the more expensive product.

What do you get for the higher price? You get a 22 revolver that is manufactured to a higher quality standard. Smith Model 17's (usually 6' barrel length the Model 18 was a 4'.) can be found for under $500 but usually they are in the $400-$500 range these days or slightly more. Yes, it may slightly exceed the $500 budget. The Colt Trooper Mark III is also available in 22LR (used but in new condition) in 4', 6', and 8' barrel lengths. You can always buy rubber grips which is what I prefer on revolvers I shoot a lot. It does not have 'cheap' grips on it if that is what you are concerned about. I went to their web site and they now have the 22LR version. When the Charter Arms Pathfinder first came out, they were in 22WMR only which is why I fixated on the 22WMR caliber versus 22LR.
