What’s Included
- Raven Arms MP-25 pistol
- 1 x 6-round factory steel magazine
The MP-25 was designed in direct response to the 1968 Gun Control Act, providing an economical American-made alternative to imported pocket pistols. Raven Arms produced an estimated two million units, making the model both historically significant and readily serviceable.
This example retains its factory bright chrome finish on the Zamak frame and slide, complemented by smooth walnut grip panels. Vertical grasping serrations and integral fixed sights are machined into the slide for a streamlined profile.
The striker-fired blowback action offers a 6+1 capacity in .25 ACP. The firing pin also serves as the ejector, and the design omits a slide-lock mechanism to keep the pistol as compact as possible.
A manual sliding bar safety mounted on the left side provides straightforward, positive control. The 2.5" steel barrel delivers reliable function at typical pocket-pistol distances.
