A: Yes this pistol IS on the CA DOJ Approved handgun roster--- https://www.oag.ca.gov/firearms/handgun/hp22a-blue-0

A: Robert, no sir, due to melting laws. Any handgun having a barrel, slide, frame or receiver that has a die casting of zinc alloy or any other non-homogenous metal, which will melt or deform at a temperature of 800degrees F or less. ● Prohibited: Phoenix Arms

A: Robert, unfortunately no as it has an Alloy Frame which is restricted by IL "Melting Point Laws". You will need to find a Steel Frame alternative. Cheers and stay safe!

A: Likely want to contact the manufacturer and even then they may not share if it is some proprietary finish. unfortunately their CS phone line is not open on Fridays.... i tried. So you may want to leave them an email. https://www.phoenix-arms.com/pages/contact-us

A: Paul, it is standard blueing which is a matte black appearing finish. It is not as durable as the nitride finish on higher priced firearms. The Nickel Finish version would be preferable. Cheers and stay safe!

A: The slide is blued. If you Google the upc 753733102335 it'll show better pictures. Know the picture on buds makes it look very glossy but its not. Hope this helps.

A: Dynesha, Phoenix arms recommends standard velocity ammo for this. You can't beat cci, here's a link to ammo people say works great in this. Hope this helps, link here.......... https://www.budsgunshop.com/product_info.php/products_id/89892/cci+0035+.22+lr+40+gr+standard+velocity+50rds
