There are no manual safeties to think about, but Charter revolvers–like Rugers–use a transfer bar safety that prevents the gun from firing unless the trigger is depressed. To finish out the presentation, the Pathfinder comes with the same bulbous, yet hand-filling rubber grips that Charter Arms puts on most of their guns. Though the grips are ill-fit, hugging over the trigger-guard and the backstrap of the grip frame, the rest of the gun appeared to be solid. The finish on all the parts was excellent and I dug the black/matte stainless contrast despite the fact that I prefer matching clothes. As for fit, the machine work was well-done with no burs or machine marks anywhere. The checkering on the hammer and trigger were nice additions that was probably unnecessary on a budget-oriented revolver. The gun locked up like a drum and I was a happy camper. But those grips bothered me enough to want to change them out. Altamont makes some beautiful wood grips for Charter revolvers and I decided to take off the existing grips to check the profile. As I did, I noticed something that I missed from my initial inspection.
