HP22A Disassembly

Here is a step by step description of how to disassemble a Phoenix Arms HP22A. This method is very easy with just a little practice and requires no tools.

1 – Start with your HP22A and a magazine
2 – Insert magazine, leave it hanging out about 1/2″, slide the magazine safety down.
3 – Pull the slide back and engage the magazine safety.
4 – Face the HP22A away from you, place your thumbnails against the back of the takedown lever and press forward (Note:image has been edited, as I didn’t have enough hands to take the picture).
5 – The barrel should release, lift the muzzle up and back.
6 – As the barrel comes up to 90 degrees is should come loose, lift it away.
7 – Place the barrel backwards into the slide.
8 – Hold the barrel and frame with your left hand while disengaging the magazine safety with your right hand.
9 – Let the slide extend while holding the barrel, let it extend to about a 1/4″ past its normal position. Since themagazine is partially released it will not press on the bottom of the slide.
10 – Lift the slide straight up and place to side.
11 – Slide the spring out and place to side.
12 – Lift the take down lever up, pull out, and place to side.
13 – Done!
