I just finished an 8.3 in. pistol build in 300blk. It has refused to cycle subsonic from the jump and it absolutely has a pistol length gas system. My first question to those arguing for an adjustable gas block is this. How are you going to adjust unrestricted gas UP with a gas block if there obviously isn't enough gas to start with? I haven't yet attempted lighter springs and buffers as I won't be shooting subsonic at least until I put a suppressor on it. I really think the suppressor will push enough gas through the system to run the ammo. I will say I have been impressed with the accuracy of the Ballistic Advantage 8.3 inch barrel at 50 yards with supersonic ammo.

My HP22A is highly modified. It requires a solid hold. (NO LIMP WRISTING) and I shoot only ELY Bench Rest ammo. **My mags are disassembled, deburred, one coil clipped from the springs and lubed with a dry lube. **Mine is a VERY dependable gun if kept clean and oiled.

Hi, great vid, but I cannot find the STl files for these parts. can you help?

Neither are reliable enough for self defense. 22 lr is an unreliable round. Way too many failures. 25 acp has the problem than most of the guns that fire it are poorly made and unreliable.

Too many safeties, it was stressful just watching the fidgeting of the hands and the hundreds of safeties.

Neck sizing = gay Pussycat= cool

Sorry if you’ve answered before but am I allowed to put mods and attachments on this to make it look and shoot better since it’s a 22 rimfire?

What size scope mounts would you use on a ep5 5x25 on a ruger American gen 2 308

I got the pistol variant, and its a hoot to shoot. I put a folding brace on it

3:18. Ragdoll!!

I have one in 338 win mag and love it

I have a carbon fiber version. The only solid part of it was the base.

It’s the resizing process the forms the bulge. You will have to check each case after each firing after you full length resize your brass. I have owned this die for years and I can’t imagine reloading belted magnums without it. I easily get 10 to 15 firings per case since using this die, it’s a game changer for belted magnums.

I bought one fired 5 rounds took it back n bought a Ruger American rifle

I know you said you're using the 6.5 brass for conversion, but have you had any experience annealing LC 7.62x51 brass for 8.6? Ive been converting and neck turning close to 500 last summer but will be trying some annealing prior which I should do anyway. I'm hoping I'll get a little more brass flow but wont hold my breath on not having to neck turn with my mil brass. I'm definitely sticking with my Lake City brass for the reason that I've got a few thousand and it's year marked 86 which is pretty awesome.

She’s a beaut 🤙🏻

The .22LR version is a great cheap pocket pistol. And I know guns, all my life! And this one is amazing bought two for $100 each new.

They are different but are very reliable, never jammed or misfired have both .22 and .25, i did the safty mods and gin works like a regular semi auto..

Great video, thank you!👍

You get what you pay for...im partialy disabled dont need a $1000 gun to hunt with...cheap simple light every pound matters..if i drop or bang it into something no big deal buy another..i absolutely love mine does exactly what i need every time 165 g hornady handloads never had to track a deer. replaced the bolt stop polished the bolt and reciever then floated the barrel in an afternoon quick camo paintjob ..wife has one in a youth 243 no issues did the same to hers except paint

The firing pin and hammer are a little soft to suit me. They do mushroom over time. Dry firing speeds it up. Has anyone tried to case harden the hammer and firing pin?

Great video, thanks! I added a rail attachment if you want to do the same. If you want to see how it looks I have a vid up showing it with a red dot 👍

I have more money in my Remington 30-06 770 than it's worth, but oh well a nightforce scope and just got a boyds at one stock changed it drastically

After upgrades its a fun pistol

Had the same problem with my hp 22a but tighten the grip did not help. Every time I shoot or rack(pull) the slide the trigger did not engage. The trigger only engage when I cock the hammer. The problem was weak coiled spring that sits inside trigger inself. I did not have original factory new spring so I put similar spring that is longer and stronger. Also planning to install stronger m*carbo recoil spring in the future.

Vell done !! ✌

Why?

A 22LR out of a 3in barrel is the "better than nothing" self defense option. But don't be fooled. It's still a bullet, out of a gun, and NOBODY wants to be shot. Moreover, nobody wants to be shot MULTIPLE TIMES. Any gun is a huge step up from any other self defense weapon. Guns are a tool of death (be it hunting, war, etc), and even the 22LR needs to be respected as such.

Doesn’t need a fin grip or anything? I can just go buy one and have it exactly how it looks in this vid?

Stop dry firing...you are messing up your firing pin!

32 auto yet?

Good video appreciate it.

It's still a savage 110 no matter how much paint fluting or camo u add to it. It's still a bottom tier terrible gritty action.

THIS ISN'T REALLY A REVIEW. ITS AN INTRODUCTION. DIMENSIONS WEREN'T GIVEN. CAMERA LIGHTING WAS DARK. COULDNT SEE THE DETAILS OF THE WEAPONS.

.22 is what we started on as kids. I shot 1 time a .22lr with my dad cupping my ears lol I still ran 50ft away...hurt my ears....ah the late 80s. I carry a 1908 .25 when out with the fam. Colt 6 shots or 7 if you put 1 in the chamber. Nice thumb safety, grip safety to. Very safe gun for the user.

I bought one and it jammed like the dickens, also made out of pot metal .

The gun is garbage. Not because the price or materials, but because it comes with way too many safeties. You dont want that in a self defense firearm.

Besides the vid nic tat

I guess common core schooling pays off.

Joey the hit man would argue just how effective a 22 rimfire is.

I owned one in the range package that Phoenix Arms offered. It worked very well only shoot standard velocity ammo in it. 👍🇺🇸🙏🏽✌🏻😎

Way too much screwing around.

The . 22 Short was the first of the . 22 rimfire cartridges and is the oldest American commercial self-contained metallic cartridge. It was introduced in 1857 for the Smith & Wesson First Model revolver and intended for serious self-defense. Considering this original cartridge was also loaded with a weaker black powder compared to today's standards, was fired from a cumbersome slow to load single action revolver at rougly half the power of the 22 lr round it and was adequite for self defense back then, it should tell us this little modern pistol with modern ammo should be plenty enough to do the job today. I choose the 22 hp 7 days a week and twice on sunday

Doesnt matter how inexpensive a gun is manufactured, there is no good excuse for a manufacture's gun coming off of the production line having such issues as well as the other many issues I been seeing in the reviews for the HP22A and HP25A. People will say if you want better quality then pay for it. I say manufactures are to use responsibility whereby not allowing any poorly/chintzy manufactured guns be put out on the market. If ANYTHING, the manufactured could of easily added a more decent level of quality without raising the cost a whole lot more and the gun would still be a good seller since it would still be under 250.00

Great video and I like’em posters in the back ground! 👍

I actually have both the HP22A and HP25A and I really wouldn't want to use either for defense. However, if I had to assign each a role, it would be the HP22A for fartin' around and plinking, with the HP25A being the choice for defense. The issue, as I'm sure most are already aware, isn't that the .25acp is more powerful than the .22LR (though it could be the case in this scenario as Phoenix Arms specifies "standard velocity" ammo for their HP22A). In many cases, the .22LR may outperform the .25acp, especially considering all the hyper-velocity stuff currently on the market, much of it designed for handguns. The real issue is the priming systems, which are completely different between the two. Rimfire primers have come a long way and are generally considered by many to be acceptably reliable enough for self defense. However, you'll *_always_* have more failure-to-fire issues with modern rimfire ammunition than with modern centerfire ammunition (such as the .25acp). So, while the HP22A may be more fun and less expensive to shoot, the HP25A will typically be the more reliable of the two simply due to the methods of priming.

Awesome physics/penetration test with your boys. They'll remember that for the rest of their lives. Good job Dad!

You cowboys forget what can happen in a court of LAW if you chose a 380 over the 22LR

Bullshit. What 44 Magnum is that? Definitely not the Elmer Keith standard
