I finally got out shooting, and have updated my review of the Phoenix HP22A .22lr pistol. It worked great!

Phoenix Arms HP22A .22 LR Pistol Review

For the money, this is a terrific little gun.

I had seen and handled one at a gun show a few years back. I used to have the old Raven p25 from years back. Nice to know the new models shoot well and are reliable.

I would like to add a Raven .22 to my collection some day. The manner of function is different than that of the Phoenix. Two totally different designs.

you my friend must be a masochist to want to try a raven ;-D

Actually, I'd like one each of all the "ring of fire" guns: Raven, Jennings, Lorcin, Bryco, AMT, Jimenez, or whatever. I think they are interesting. You just have to accept them for what they are, and are not. They are an interesting episode in mid-20th century gun making. And Jimenez today is carrying on the "tradition." I don't expect to get something "finely crafted" or "lasts for a lifetime."

My Raven was not bad. It always shot and was a breeze to clean. And it satisfied the first rule of a gun fight. Bring a gun!
