HP22 and HP25 The HP22 and HP25 are small semi-automatic pocket pistols chambered in the .22 Long Rifle or .25 ACP cartridge, respectively. They are blowback-operated pistols and come with 3-inch barrels. Optional five-inch 22LR barrels are available. The frame is Zamak zinc alloy. The detachable barrel is a steel sleeve inside of an alloy casing with an integral front blade sight and vented rib. The vented rib continues back along the alloy slide to the windage adjustable rear sight. They are hammer-fired single-action pistols. They have a slide-mounted manual firing pin block safety in addition to a regular manual slide combination hold open and safety. The pistol includes a magazine disconnect feature, which prevents the gun from firing without a magazine. The magazine cannot be removed without engaging the manual slide safety. The HP22 feeds from a single-stack 10-round magazine, and the HP25 feeds from a single-stack nine-round magazine. The HP22 is designed for use with standard-velocity .22 Long Rifle ammunition only. They are available in satin nickel or matte black finish. A primary change of the HP22A and HP25A models was the addition of a half-cock hammer position, as well as internal parts changes that are not compatible with the previous models. ==Accessories==

A nylon holster, custom locking transport case, cleaning kit, various parts, as well as branded merchandise such as patches and shirts were offered. Though available separately, the case was primarily part of their Rangemaster branded Range Kits. The HP22A Range Kit includes a five inch barrel, a magazine with an extended floor plate (as a pinky finger rest), a custom magazine well pistol lock (Model PAL2) keyed to match the case lock, as well as cleaning supplies. They also marketed a Deluxe Range Kit that includes all of the parts in the regular Range Kit and adds a regular length 3" interchangeable barrel as well as a second magazine with the standard flush floor plate. A 2-in-1 Conversion Kit with a 5" barrel and magazine with an extended floor plate was offered for the HP22 and HP22A. Early marketing materials mention a 5" barrel for the HP25, but parts lists in the manuals, as well as parts lists offered online, do not show it. == References ==
