About 5 years ago, the slide cracked and I threw it in a drawer figuring I got my money out of it. Then I found your article and reached out to Customer Support. Within 2 weeks I had a new slide and they added a new recoil spring. I got your threaded barrel and am waiting for my Sparrow.
Who makes that flash hider on yours? Did you have to have the barrels threaded or are you able to buy threaded barrels to swap out for the factory ones?
Love the knowledge guys. Great info. Just picked one up and she was fun to finger right out of the box mild cleaned first Maybe i should throw a little stupid money at it. Mcarbo says they have "upgraded" spring material.
Quick question I'm one of those that has a cracked HP22 slide. Thanks for quick reply! I'll check with them, but I am not the original owner. If they are interchangeable then I would go with the HP22A as I would guess it is an "improved" model.
Anywho, thanks much for the info! And thank you to Willie for your great write up on this pistol. I wonder, how many HP22A owners are out there? With it being so inexpensive, I would bet there are a lot of us. This was an excellent blogpost. I really enjoyed it being so informative as well as witty. I was researching the hpp22a and this should have been the first link on the search engine.
I also had a slide crack after the officer who inspected it on purchase incorrectly operated it and gouged it with the safety mechanism.
Phoenix arms replaced it for free. It's also a bargain plinker. And possibly the cheapest suppressed rimfire semiautomatic! Here is range pic after a first run with the first barrel - I initially tried a mag with just the barrel, then a mag with the flash hider shown below, and finally another 40 rounds with the short-stacked suppressor:.
These barrels are an excellent upgrade to your HP22A. Factor in the cost of a new barrel and you're getting a threaded option for a great price. There are versions in 5" and both barrels with a pic rail i don't care for those, but it may be useful to folks who want to use a laser or red dot:. Unknown March 23, at AM. Carl September 13, at PM.

D Diane B. Exceptional flawless experience Thank You. These sights are much better than the usual fare in pocket guns. If you are counting on shot placement, then you need good sights. The pistol is about the right size to be called a. The pistol is devoid of sharp edges. The design is pleasing.
The handgun is light, small, affordable and would be an ideal backup or last ditch handgun—even, dare I say, for those going armed in a non-permissive environment. I had a good friend, now retired, that went into the classroom every single day with an AMT Backup. A good friend was a psychiatric nurse.
She went to work every day with a Colt. She loved her patients but she was not going to let them kill her. I worked an assignment in which I was legally armed but it was imperative that no one knew I was armed save for a client at the top of the rung.
The direct bosses above me were some of the silliest men I have ever met, afraid of their own shadow, people of color, poor people, and those with poorly developed social skills. Apparently, they were as afraid of me as the bad guys. They felt that cameras were the answer to everything and wasted thousands of dollars worth of hard earned money. I wore a snub nose.
I can see someone on a very limited budget fitting the Phoenix into their plans. Many working cops carried. Others preferred the High Standard. There was never a better cop than Tom Ferguson. He told me a beating heart is just a few inches behind the breast bone. Put the. Tom owned and carried several Colt. There are a lot of features in the Phoenix for the money. There is even an undercut trigger guard and an enlarged magazine button.
If you deploy this pistol be certain to spend sufficient time with the manual of arms. This is a reason I have stuck with the and double-action revolvers for so long. With the HP25A we have two manual safeties.
The safety located by the upper grip locks the slide and the trigger. With the safety off the magazine cannot be removed. The safety must be on to insert the magazine in the handgun.
The firing pin block is located on the rear sight. This is borrowed from the French M35A. Now, theoretically, you have to move the primary safety down and the firing pin safety up to make the pistol ready for firing.
That is too much for me, too much for you, and for anyone else. Two safeties moving at different attitudes. There is no real reason to keep both on. The firing pin safety seems essential, as the gun may fire if it is dropped. Keep the firing pin safety on and the trigger safety off would be my call, but then again, it is your hide. However, the HP25 is a good candidate. Rack the slide and you are ready to fire.
Be certain to study the manual of arms if you adopt this pistol. If carried with a round in the chamber, the hammer must be cocked before the piece is fired. Firing impressions were good. The cartridges were so old, they were headstamped Western, I also had on hand a small quantity of Remington UMC, equally old.
Be certain to load the magazine properly and then tap the back of the magazine against a boot heel to seat the magazines after loading three or four cartridges then load the rest.
The trigger action is heavy and the break is abrupt. The Lyman electronic trigger pull gauge registered 7 pounds. I fired more than 50 cartridges in rapid fire. I fired at five to seven yards. I could get headshots at five yards, but it demanded attention to every detail. As for absolute accuracy, I leaned against the barricade and fired slowly at 7 yards and placed five of eight rounds into a single ragged hole.
At yard2, the group was three inches. The pistol is accurate enough to pop a rodent or snake a few feet away and save your life with proper shot placement. I will leave the final choice up to you. I have not seen the. These tales have zero value, the only means of testing ammunition performance is by carefully firing into tissue simulant. These so called stopping power studies, if the results even exist, are no means of comparing loads, the factors involved are simply unpredictable.
However, these tales are gleaned from police reports and give an indication of the results to be had from the. In an attempted suicide, a fellow fired into his temple. The bullet skilled along the skull and gave him quite a hemorrhage and concussion.
He put a wad of tissue to his head and walked to the party downstairs. Someone noticed he was bleeding as he collapsed. He lived but was somewhat affected. In another case a cab driver was assaulted by an armed robber. The cabbie saw his chance and when the rear door came between him and the robber the cabbie fired four rounds as quickly as possible from his.
The robber ran as well and was never found. Probably home treated if he was hit at all. In another case a peace officer was assaulted and could not reach his duty weapon. In another case, a man I personally knew was shot once in the side with a. This was among the toughest men I had known and a real scrapper. He was at least pounds.
