Phoenix Arms Hp22. Put 300 rounds or more through it so far and am pretty happy with it. Bought three extra magazines for it and had lots of trouble with one of them wouldn't feed after every round but just took some pliers and pushed the mag lips apart more and it works great now. I've had no worse results with this 22 than any other. I've heard that this gun is ammo picky espeially with federal bulk ammo but that's all I used and all funtioned great. People complain about the safeties but I found out if you push the magazine towards the back of the magwell you can eject the mag while the safety is off! and was able to pull back the slide witch I'm happy about. Your not supposed to be able to eject the mag while off safety or pull the slide back but on mine it does just gotta push the mag towards back. This gun you definately have to treat like baby and clean it frequently. It's really f**king heavy too for such a small gun. Time will tell how it will hold up but I'm gonna baby this thing and see if it lasts long. Heard some people say they never cleaned these guns and had them last thousands and thousands of rounds so I'm hoping if I take care of it well it will last. If I had more money would buy one of ruger's 22 pistols. Mark III would last you lifetime and more for sure. But I wanted to try one of these Phoenix's out cause I can buy 3 of these almost compared to a ruger and wanted a pocket 22 pistol also which I don't think ruger makes except for the polymer one they make and it's bigger than this one in size. But so far I'm liking it alot. Just gotta see and wait how it holds up. Got mine for $118 and seen them go as low as $95 and at those prices would definatley recommend one.
