Good and informative video. Thank you for making it. Could you please let your viewers know exactly what part you ordered, from where, and how much did it cost? Also, a step By step how-to video in the on the install would be most helpful. Thank you!
@@AlbertRosica no I can’t do step by step or tell you where to buy it on TH-cam- they consider that manufacturing firearms and I could have my channel cancelled so you kind of get what you get. But if you look on a popular auction website you can usually find parts like these.
Like the finger snap as a good-humor way of getting around certain idiotic TOS. 😎👍 Been working so much I saved your videos as a treat. Thanks for the video!
I’m glad you keep coming back :) I’ve been working a lot too which is partially why my videos have been so sparse. I’m off this week so hoping to spend a good portion of a day at the range catching up on shooting and follow up videos
I guess it's not about the plastic job, it's who did the job. Ruger's 10/22 started using plastic trigger and trigger guard housing since 2008. Their tests showed that, if somehow the 10/22 was dropped and the trigger guard hit the ground first (don't know how that can happen), the original aluminum trigger guard would shatter or crack, but the plastic version would only be scratched at most. So I guess Charter uses really cheap plastic to make that part :)
@@harrycallahan9733 not cheap, I’ve never seen one break, I just have a perception that an aluminum frame is better- but I have no data to back that up. Charter arms has been using polymer frames on even their 38 special revolvers
Great video! Subscribed! One question: what is the trigger pull like on the 22s? On the other makes it is very stiff. On this video it looks very good! Any idea on the trigger pull weight? Thank you and God bless you
Double action is still pretty stiff- maybe like 11 pounds? It has to be in order to reliably set off the priming compound. Single action is much less- I don’t have a trigger pull gauge so I am not sure exactly how much it is though
Call them? Is it 1950? How about this new fangle contraption called the worlds wide webs. I hear tell a feller can buy stuff from companies by using plastic money.
I guess if it has a lifetime warranty , who cares really. Can't get much lighter than plastic. Don't really see any complaints on youtube regarding that piece breaking. Again really useful info
The 63 and the Pathfinder are not even in the same class. For a 22 it really doesn't matter if it is polymer or not, and I think most if not all the new charter 22's are polymer frames. Even their ultralight 38's are polymer grip frames.
@ it was out of time, light primer strikes and the ejector star was dragging and gouging the frame pretty badly. Picked it up and took it to the range, went back to Charter the next day.
I don’t know- mine worked fine. They’re pretty simple.maybe you over tightened the screw that holds the hammer in? Sometimes they may need some hand fitting too
The target pathfinder I have, and the ultra lite models are polymer. Website may not be up to date, or they may call the frame the portion that holds the cylinder that the barre screws into, and grip frame may not be listed.
I said you can see casting marks in the frame, I meant moulding marks

"... does it bother you? Well it doesn't bother me and it's my gun, so I don't really care if it bothers you ..." Damn straight.
^^ this guy gets it ^^
For lighter kit gun - Polymer.
For heft/accuracy - Metal.
Options are Good! 😃
Very true
That's cool all the grip frames wiil swap, I didn't know they made them in polymer. Now you have a two-tone revolver
Yeah, not the worst ;)
From Charter, bottom frame, Alu, $75. Stainless Steel is more.
Or you can buy them on eBay for like $20 usually.

Nice part for that. I probably would do the same, but with 22 the original would have probably been just fine.
I’m sure it would have been fine, the ultralight 38’s use the same frame I believe
Its polymer. saves weight. nothing to worry about. no problem. its fine.
I know but I like the aluminum- stronger, barely heavier.
Ruger grip frames are polymer also on their LCRs
Yes but Rugers are a lot more substantial
Charter will sell you aluminum and steel replacements for most models if you call them.
I needed more parts than just that, but I forgot they sell tons of replacement parts
Call them? Is it 1950? How about this new fangle contraption called the worlds wide webs. I hear tell a feller can buy stuff from companies by using plastic money.
nice info

I’ve never heard of them breaking, I just like the aluminum better
Really hoping my Pathfinder doesn’t have the plastic trigger guard when it comes in. Not going to accept it and get a Model 63 if that the case.

@ Got the Pathfinder in and it went straight back to Charter for some major issues. Got the 63 though and love it. Never buying another Charter again.
@ what were the “major issues”?
@ it was out of time, light primer strikes and the ejector star was dragging and gouging the frame pretty badly. Picked it up and took it to the range, went back to Charter the next day.
@ that stinks. That has not been my experience with their guns, but I know others have had issues
I tried a new aluminum frame now the cylinder does not operate correctly. It just spins and the hammer locks up. What did I do?
I don’t know- mine worked fine. They’re pretty simple.maybe you over tightened the screw that holds the hammer in? Sometimes they may need some hand fitting too
Charter Arms website says aluminum frame.
The target pathfinder I have, and the ultra lite models are polymer. Website may not be up to date, or they may call the frame the portion that holds the cylinder that the barre screws into, and grip frame may not be listed.
