They are a good gun for the money.
You obviously haven seen the Hi-Point torture tests by iraqveteran8888 on youtube.more force is being transmitted into the frame and slide, which are zamak and zamak doesn't last long when that happens.
The Hi Point's frame is polymer, not zamak. The slide is zamak tho.You obviously haven seen the Hi-Point torture tests by iraqveteran8888 on youtube.
The Beretta 21a Bobcat, which Taurus based the PT22 on is a DA/SA tip barrel. But still doesn't add those couple rounds, for what ever little value that is. But MSRP is over $400.
Yes, but,The Hi Point's frame is polymer, not zamak. The slide is zamak tho
Your quote.more force is being transmitted into the frame and slide,
I "fixed" the magazine safety in mine by bending a part slightly that made it work like a normal magazine. I think I found the "fix" on YouTube. I bent it rather than removed it so I could straighten it back in case I needed it to work if I had a warranty need. I sold it to my brother for his wife after I replaced it with a Ruger MK III. I should have kept it.Wow, the Phoenix HP22 is a nice pistol. Put 50 rds thru it of CCI SV, no issues. Nice trigger too, feels a lot like a Charter Arms trigger in the "cap gun" feel. Definitely a lot better than the older Taurus PT-22 I have, but it is a lot heavier than that gun is.
The magazine removal is quirky, but it's not some terrible dealbreaker given how well it shoots.
I'd recommend these to anybody.
Shooting fast is basically point and shoot skills. There are many drills you can do to develop the eye and hand muscle memory skills. Here is just one I do with the Phoenix.I have no problem with mine,,What is this shooting ‘quickly’ of what you speak.. I am always slow and deliberate. Makes for better accuracy
