Has anyone here ordered and installed the magazine follower kit for the Phoenix HP22a .22 that will lock open the slide after the last round has been fired? I'm very curious to know how and if it works.
Thanks

Yes but the magazine well is a part of the frame. Maybe not a part that makes the gun dangerous (I shot mine even after it cracked) but it can have an effect on reliability.I've owned 2 of the HP22a model. Neat little guns! The "frame" crack at the 2000-3000 round mark is not the frame but the top of the magwell. It does not affect the function or safety of the gun. Of course, if it bothers you then Phoenix Arms will send a new one if you are nice to them.
MCgunner, What did you do to help the trigger pull? Mine is not real bad but any improvement is welcomed.
The hammer pivots around a roll pin. Roll pins end up slightly curved. I've owned and detail stripped two examples of this gun, and in one the hammer roll pin was so badly curved, the hammer was very stiff. This could be a main contributing factor leading to broken hammers. If the roll pin fits properly, the hammer cocking force is very light and smooth.My friends hammer flew out of his. Is this a quick fix or should he send it in?
