The HP22 is part of the Phoenix Arms HP series and is identified here as a pre-A configuration by its "MODEL HP22" slide marking. The serial number location is on the backstrap. This example is set up with the standard 3-inch steel barrel and includes the factory long barrel/upper assembly, allowing quick configuration changes using the frame-mounted takedown lever.
Operation is single-action, blowback, and hammer-fired with an external spur hammer. Safety features include a slide-mounted firing-pin block, a magazine interlock/slide hold-open safety, and a magazine disconnect. The slide has rear serrations, and the barrel features a ventilated rib. Sights are iron: a fixed blade front and a windage-adjustable notch rear.
Construction details include a steel barrel, a zinc-alloy (Zamak) frame with steel inserts, and a nickel finish on both the slide and frame. Black checkered synthetic grips provide a secure hold. The pistol is sized for compact carry and uses 10-round magazines for a 10+1 capacity with .22 LR.
This HP22 is designed for standard-velocity .22 LR ammunition. It ships with two factory magazines offering both finger-rest and flush baseplate options, the original box, and the operating instructions. Phoenix Arms ended production in 2025, which provides useful context for parts and brand availability moving forward.
