The HP22A and HP25A are blowback operated pistols and come with 3 inch barrels. Optional 5 inch barrels are available. The frame is alloy with a steel barrel and alloy slide[1]. They are single-action pistols and feed from a single-stack 10 round magazine. They have a unique slide mounted firing pin block in addition to a regular manual safety. The manual safety must be engaged to drop the magazine and removing the magazine prevents firing the weapon known as magazine disconnect. The HP22A/HP25A have a shotgun-style ventilated rib along the top and feature a blade front sight with windage-adjustable notch-type rear sight. They are available in nickel or blued finish.
Due to their low recoil and low cost, they are often recommended for use by women for self-defense or who are new to the shooting hobby.[2] Their relatively low cost also recommends them to lower-income families.
Phoenix Arms also markets a "Target Kit" for the HP22A/HP25A that includes an interchangeable 5 inch barrel and a magazine with an extended finger rest.
