Cheap but Great .22 Pistol - Pheonix Arms

[Ricochet]

I saw this yesterday at Rural King for $139 new.
Phoenix Arms .22
I figured it being that cheap, I'll take a gamble.
I was actually looking for a good DA/SA .22LR revolver to plink around with, but couldn't believe how expensive they were. I saw a Taurus .22LR DA/SA revolver for over $400.

So I bought it, and a bunch of different .22LR ammo with it.Took it to my cousins property and this bad boy really surprised me.

We probably ran a couple hundred rounds through it and not one hiccup.
Comes with a 10 round magazine and they also make them in .25acp.
I got the .22 just to plink around and its cheap to shoot.
Its roughly the same size as a Ruger LCP.

The only thing I didn't like was the magazine safety, but that is easily removed with a snip of a small piece of sheet metal.

Heard of the company a few times. Still know nothing about them though. For $139, sign me up. Looks like a good fun plinker. .22 is cheap as dirt and plentyful now.

great find!

You located one that actually runs.

DO NOT DRY FIRE IT!!!

The pin will deform the edge of the chamber and the case will not extract.

I sold mine cheap because of that.

The two I had only ran on CCI mini-mags.

You ran a couple hundred rounds through it with only one 10 round magazine? That is dedication.

Phoenix arms is the decedent of Raven. Named such because the original Raven factory burnt down.

My very first gun was a Raven .25 that I bought years ago.

Thats only filling the mag up 20 times.
Probably 10 times each person. Why is that strange?

I bought one recently too. I had some feed issues, but it was due to an old magazine. The feed lips appear to get bent out of shape kind of easily if you are not careful.
