if I found a Taurus 445 or whatever their .44spl snubbie was I'd buy it over a Charter Arms without hesitation. same for the "J" frame sized .38s made before the built in lock.

I went to a gun show on Saturday and looked at a Charter .22 Magnum Target Pathfinder, it's a 4 inch barrel with adjustable sights.

I didn't like anything about the gun.

First, the crown on the display model was not concentric with the bore. I could tell that the gun was going to shoot low because of how offset the crown was with the bore.

I did not like the front sight. It's one with the rest of the barrel and can't be removed for something else. I didn't like the way the guns looked, they looked like something somebody put together in their garage. I didn't like the grips either.

I had been thinking about maybe getting a .45 ACP Pitbull in the future, but after seeing that horrible looking .22 Mag, I think I'm going to stay away from any Charter made the past 20 years.

TruthTellers, the C.A. guns of today do not have the same level or workmanship as they did in the 70s, that's for sure.

1st post and glad to make it here Charter Arms - loving my 44 spl bulldog. It is a new production stainless so some of the early model ills are no longer. This is my first edc revolver and holy smokes, it is awesome with hornady xtp.
