It’s more important to be easily concealable in your pocket, yet still controllable with the heavier recoil of a light weight .22LR pocket pistol.
One nice thing about the HP22 (Phoenix Arms .22lr) is that it has barrel interchangeability and it is easy to do. The little pistols usually come with the 3 inch barrel, in stainless or black look. You can order a kit for around $40 that has an extra ten round mag and a five inch barrel. Thread the five inch barrel for more quiet shooting, carry the three inch barrel configuration for pocket wear. I threaded my five inch barrel for 1/2 x 28, which is the most common thread pattern for pistol calibers in the US. When I get several weapons threaded up and ready, I’ll order a suppressor to use on them all.
