I have always been a big fan on full-size autos and tried to avoid the compacts. The Makarov is the smallest pistol that I own, yet it is still too big for what I'm wanting. I want a good pocket pistol to use for carry when carrying a full-size gun isn't practical. I've been looking at the Phoenix HP22 and I like the feel of the pistol in my hands. Can anyone help me on this? Is the pistol a good reliable gun or is it a jam-o-matic? Are there any better pistols within the price range ($90 - $140)? Any feedback appreciated.
