Phoenix Arms HP22

The Phoenix arms HP-22/HP-25 is a small, inexpensive semiautomatic pistol chambered in the .22 long rifle or .25 ACP cartridge. They are single-action and feed from a 10 round magazine. They have an external hammer and feature two manual safeties plus a magazine disconnect. The HP22/25 have a shotgun-style ventilated rib along the top and feature a blade front sight with windage-adjustable notch-type rear sight.

There is a target kit for the HP22/25 that consists of a magazine with an extended finger rest and a 5 inch barrel.

Accuracy and reliability are noted as being exceptional for such a small and inexpensive pistol.

The low cost materials used in the construction of the HP22/25 suggest a relatively short lifespan when compared to more expensive rimfire pistols, as noticeable wear begins to occur at a relatively low round count.

Though inexpensive, and often referred to by certain groups as a "saturday night special" or "junk gun", the little HP is generally considered to be a good value in the arena of rimfire plinking pistols.
