I have, for some silly reason got the wants for a inexpensive .22lr snubnose, double-action revolver. They are actually kind of hard to find around here - one shop has used Charter Arms that they want more than new retail for and that is about it locally.
I am kind of considering waiting on the new Taurus, the 942 that is coming out this year as it checks all of the boxes. Not going to fork out the bucks on a S&W for a fun gun.
So another LGS in our area said they can get me a new Charter Arms Pathfinder for about $309, which is fair. I have handled one and they seem solid. They are USA made, which is another plus. Thinking the 942 might be Brazilian made. And I have nothing against Taurus - I have their 9mm 1911 and it has been rock solid. I have had a few taurus guns and only one was a pain - the first generation of the single stack 9mm subcompact 711 (I think). I got what it was trying to be, the PPS, and never looked back.
In any event do you see a downside of getting the Charter Arms Pathfinder?
