I have had experience with both, the 21A is well worth the money you can find them for 250 to 300 used you can also get the Taurus copy the PT22 for 250 new. I have 2 21A's for sale for 600 and they are brand new. Now the phoenix I have had one blow up personally and also have had a Jennings blow a slide off and hit me in the face, they are Bryco arms which I believe are all the same company at one time and if not it is the same type of fire arm, if you buy it you might get one that will shoot but I doubt it. I have been very careful when picking out my .22 auto they are more prone to FTF and FTE from my experience. And as far as Hi Point fire arms they are a darn good deal for the money I have owned 2 c9 9mm pistols 1 45 acp and I currently have a 40 to take with me on road trips, my brother in law has had a few c9 9mm and he gave them to a friend about 5 years ago only one has had to be sent in for repair and my brother has owned a c9 with no problems, people just like to say it is a crappy gun with nothing to back it up, yes it is a brick and it is heavy that is because it is a blowback design in calibers that should be locked breech.
