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

You keep dry firing it after the tenth round.

To they make mags for 22lr that carries like 30-35 rounds 10 seems low even for a semi auto

You forgot 280AI

Amazing performance!!!

That setup is so baller. This is almost a must for this cartridge. I am a 7.62x54R and .458 SOCOM reloader so I know the pain of weird calibers. What kind of rifle do you shoot?

Make one with 22short

Search my own gun and this comes up. A review with no shooting . If u wanna clickbait at least show ya sista

Seems to me they should have made that sear a little bit longer

Bro if you tell me that I can adjust that brace im going to go get one tmr 🤙😂

Wait california didn’t pin that stock, it looks quite easy to remove

If you're bending the bolt release, you're doing something very wrong.

Hi kitty your nice cat has come to help .nice

Great job teaching the kid how to handle and shoot a gun

Think I'd opt for a short stick lol something that'll swing easy and have a nice thud impact.

I hope you have real grips for all those when you decide to move out of CA

Id miss that

i would spend a little more and buy the Walther P22CA

So if u have the phoenix arms 25 acp can you use 22lr ammo or will it blow up in will the ammo fit in the magazine

I enjoyed your video. Just curious why you don’t trim closer to the desired OAL the before annealing to reduce the amount you need to trim the 2nd time? Since the video was shot a while ago, have you found other brass that doesn’t need neck trimming? Have you tried Lake City?

Shot Placement...end of story

My mother has had bad experiences with machinery here and there I'm sure I can justify a purchase like this for training purposes, since it's small 😉

Awesome!

Id rather have 10 rds of 22 than 6 of 380

Nice 👍
