[1] Phoenix was founded and owned by Jennings’ ex-wife, his children, four of his grandchildren, and by Raven's former general manager.

Phoenix is described by the U.S. BATF as one of the "Ring of Fire" companies, known for producing inexpensively-manufactured firearms often given the pejorative term "Saturday night special".

[2] Phoenix initially continued production of the MP-25, Raven's flagship model,[1] before later replacing it with two new pistols, the HP22A and HP25A, chambered in .22 LR and .25 ACP, respectively.

They have a unique slide-mounted firing pin block in addition to a regular manual safety.

Phoenix Arms also markets a "Target Kit" for the HP22A/HP25A that includes an interchangeable 5 inch barrel and a magazine with an extended finger rest.
