yeah, i bought mine about a month ago. it feels good to me (i have small hands) and didnt mind paying 150 for it with the life time warrenty. like everyone said at first the safetys are a pain but once you get used to them your good to go.
Preferable ammo for Phoenix Arms HP22?

I'm not saying anything is wrong with the HP22, and I know it costs much more for the S&W, but its funny how the S&W 22a will let me swap any of the three barrels with any of the three frames. No parts come loose, one button to push.
I just wish that someday, I could actually see an HP22 in the wild. I have never seen one at a store, or anywhere.

I saw one at one of my LGS's. I asked to see it and the counter guy immediately asked what I wanted it for and then started trying to talk me into a larger, higher dollar, 22. I told him thank you and left. I ended up buying a different gun elsewhere, but it was still a pocket sized .22LR instead of the Walther P22 he tried to upsell me on. And I didn't buy it from him. I was motivated to buy at the time too.I just wish that someday, I could actually see an HP22 in the wild. I have never seen one at a store, or anywhere.
I guess there are still some folks who will shoot themselves in the foot by offering unsolicited advice.

This.
I think of them as the 10/22 of the pistol world. Looks nifty, has a few models and a few accessories, like a fake can, which means for some reason, they can charge $100 too much, and people will pay it with a smile.
Women pay ridiculous prices for fake cans all the time. Fake silencers too.This.

I'd pay more than the 200$ for the tax stamp for a silencer that worked on a 13 year old daughter.Women pay ridiculous prices for fake cans all the time. Fake silencers too.
I have never seen one in the wild. But every now and then a traveling gun zoo will come threw. And there is always 10-20 of them.I'm not saying anything is wrong with the HP22, and I know it costs much more for the S&W, but its funny how the S&W 22a will let me swap any of the three barrels with any of the three frames.

They are like davis guns. Almost never see one in a store. But you can bet there will be plenty at a gun show, and someone will always buy one
At the time I was looking for options in POCKET .22's for my wife.
She ended up not wanting the Phoenix (so I didn't buy one) but there's NO WAY a P22 could be considered a "pocket" 22.

The stars must have been aligned correctly this weekend. After reading this post, I saw an ad for my LGS that had the Phoenix HP-22s on sale for $118. What wasn’t advertised was that if you bought one, a brick of 22LR was only an additional $20….Too good to pass up. (Haven't seen a brick of 22LR in three years where I live.) Quick trip to the LGS Friday and took one home.
Put 100 rounds through it Saturday with no failures of any kind, right out of the box. I was also surprised how accurate this little pistol shoots.
I have been concentrating so much on long range shooting and defensive training that I had forgotten how much fun it was to just “plink”. Really happy to have this pistol in that I can shoot without many worries. The down side is my girlfriend took one look at it and declared she wanted one for herself. So we were off to the LGS on Sunday to pick up a second one.
