Design and Features
The HP22A and HP25A are blowback operated pistols and come with 3 inch barrels. Optional 5 inch barrels are available. The frame is alloy with a steel barrel and alloy slide. They are single-action pistols and feed from a single-stack 10 round magazine. They have a unique slide mounted firing pin block in addition to a regular manual safety. The pistol includes a magazine disconnect feature, which prevents the gun from firing without a magazine. Furthermore, the magazine cannot be removed without engaging the manual safety.

Famous quotes containing the words design and/or features:
“I begin with a design for a hearse.
For Christ’s sake not black—
nor white either—and not polished!
Let it be weathered—like a farm wagon—”
—William Carlos Williams (1883–1963)
“All visible objects, man, are but as pasteboard masks. But in each event—in the living act, the undoubted deed—there, some unknown but still reasoning thing puts forth the mouldings of its features from behind the unreasoning mask. If man will strike, strike through the mask!”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
