i've heard mixed things..

it's considered a SNS (saturday night special) AKA cheap depsoable gun..

i like the design and wanted to get one.. can't seem to find one locally though and i refuse to pay 145 bucks for it.

bout most i'd pay it 75 nib.. from my understanding they are pretty good guns but the metal is soft and have heard of many many cracked frames, the nickeling has been reported to only last a few hundred rounds before bubbling and piling off.
my understanding is if you dont have a cracked frame or a wrecked finish after 1k shots then you have a good sample.

they do have a lifetime warranty for 1st owners, but i heard they can be a pita to deal with getting repair/replacements.

never shot one so i can't comment on it 1st hand.

im just curious but how much did you guys pay for your hp22's?
it seems most agree they do not hold up to a lot of firing but that they are worth tye money.

i can't seem to find one locally and the prices i've seen online are 140-160.
i paid 170 for my S&W 22a and i believe it will hold up to a lot of firing.. 500 rounds so far and other then some finish wear from slide contact it still look new.. ruger mark's i see locally for 200..

so just wondering if they dont hold up exactly how much are you getting them that makes them a good buy?

i do like the design but it's reliability is what is off putting.. i'd gladly pay 150 if the gun was well built.. if someone would take the effort to make the gun in better materials i'd already have one.
