OK, tell me I'm and idiot for considering it.
Was in the pawn shop during lunch today. Saw a Phoenix semi auto 25cal (HP-25) made in Ontario, California, USA. Price was right, pistol was new, they are a gun store as well as a pawn and are a dealer for this firearm.
It seemed solid...tight, heavier for it's size, slide worked well, all metal construction. Odd but I could not operate the slide with the magazine out. The safety had to be engaged to release the magazine and it could not be disengaged when the magazine was out.
I could pick it up for $210.00 out the door after the 3 day waiting period.
So...Is it:
just another saturday night special???? (not necessarily bad)
in the same category as a Jennings etc.????
worth the money???
a case of you get what you pay for???
Someone fill in the blanks for me.
I have found out the HP-22LR is 'liked' more than the HP-25 and most would say go to a 32 ACP rather than the HP-25 or stay with the HP-22. As well the price before taxes and fees should be closers to $150.00. Out the door price should be closer to $195.00.

Troll.
I've had 2 of the HP-25s given to me. Both broke the slides. Threw them in the trash rather than let someone else own one.

WAITING PERIOD
Is there a waiting period on gun sales? Yes
State law requires handgun buyers to first obtain a permit-to-purchase a handgun. Law enforcement may take up to 7 days to issue the permit, during which time they can do a background check. The permit is valid for 30 days. Also see: License Or Permit to Purchase.
Every permit that I have applied for, took the full 7 days to get them.0 -

[}:)][}:)] I just stumbled on this sight somehow... and i dont like some of the things you have to say [:p] Now why dont you tell me how many of you giving bad reviews have ever actually owned one?...i didnt think so... ive owned my hp25 for about a year now. Never had any problems with it. NEVER! Maybe i got lucky. or maybe i just know how to shoot. Who knows. I personally have never had a jam. I let my sister in-law shoot it and it jammed. Actually it was her first time shooting, and it was due to limp-wrist. But i am here to give a good review on the firearm. Good accuracy, good reliablity, good price. Great backup weapon. Saved my life before come to think of it. Now dont talk poop [:)]
