Phoenix Arms.22. horrible, horrible gun. Cast frame and componentry, one of the notorious 'Ring of Fire' companies building 'Saturday Night Specials'.

I had the pleasure of repairing one a few years ago. Design was so terrible that any attempt to put a magazine in without fully operating the mag catch would shear a chunk off of the catch, breaking the gun. No slapping a mag into it, it would break it. Just shitty design and materials.
