I checked the paperwork and found that they had replaced not only the pistol, but the entire range kit! I'm now waiting for the new keys to the lock to show up as they were shipped separate from the pistol itself. Today I caught the fex ex guy, got my package only to find a locked case inside. On 4/21 I missed a Fed Ex shipment and was certain they had simply returned the pistol without repair. I couldn't lock the case (even though the manual says to or you will be charged $12 for a new lock) so I wasn't sure what would happen there. I packed it up and included only a return address. Finally I decided to take a gamble and just sent the gun to their repair center and see what would happen. I called Phoenix several times about getting some parts for repair, but I never ONCE got through to them. I had the thing sitting in a drawer for ages and pirated some parts from it, including the recoil spring for my other HP22. One day while firing it the magazine release button popped off and the spring flew into oblivion. I put about 1200 rounds through this pistol and did my customary modifications of removing the silly 'safety to remove the magazine' and 'mag inserted to set on safety' crap that I had done to my other HP22. I'm not even sure the gun was new when he bought it, I actually believe it was used because it had a lot of chips in the finish when he first picked it up. The gun was actually originally bought by my room mate who sold it to me cheap because of how often he was late on his rent. The pistol came in a range kit that included a cleaning rod, longer barrel, 2 mags etc. For the last year or so I have owned a black Phoenix HP22A pistol.
