About the Cartridge

The Stevens Arms Co. developed the .22 Long Rifle rimfire cartridge from the .22 Long cartridge case developed 16 years earlier, with a 40 grain round nose bullet loaded to a higher velocity than the older 29 grain .22 Long bullet. Modern .22 Long Rifle High Velocity cartridges drive a 40 grain copper-plated bullet at a muzzle velocity of 1255 fps and muzzle energy of 140 ft-lbs from a rifle barrel. This rimfire cartridge has become the most popular sporting and target shooting cartridge in the world.

One Year update - It's nice looking JUNK
By X-Raycer on 28 Aug 2022
After a year and a little over 200 rounds the gun will no longer feed a round from any of the five magazines I have.

HP-22A Range Kit
By X-Raycer on 08 Aug 2021
This Nickle plated HP-22A fits the bill on a budget. I bought the Deluxe Range Kit for $209. It came with 3" and 5" barrels. It has two 10 round magazine, one with a Pinky Rest. So far I've not had a problem with it. It has a couple of quirks like two safeties, and the need to stick with Standard Velocity ammo. Just read and follow the Manual.

One of the most under rated firearms made. Have two of them and the just run and run. Accuracy is fantastic, nice trigger and sights. I totally agree with Gun-test magazine that gave it a A plus rating. Runs better than gun costing 3-4 times as much. Eats any standard Velocity ammo.

Nice plinking pistol
By Diecapsule78 on 07 Apr 2020
I have this pistol in .22 & my dad & brother have the .25 model. Hard to argue with the price. They make for a nice little target practice/plinking pistol.
