Raven MP-25 .25 Auto Nickel 1980s

As Sarah Brady was putting the finishing touches on RG Industries in the early 1980s, a fledgling cheap gun manufacturer, Raven Arms, was just getting started up cranking out a flood of their .25 auto Raven MP-25 from a place called Industry, California. Here is one of their products, a pot-metal pistol that South Carolina immediately outlawed by instituting a melt law in that state as soon as they started showing up en masse. Raven is the ancestor to the current crop of High Point firearms, the bane of the firearms industry and favorite among gun illiterates everywhere. The Raven also elbowed a fine little cheap pistol out of the way, the Titan .25 auto, made of Floridian and Italian parts that phased out in the early 1990s. Here is one of the villains, then, of the firearms industry that appeals to some of the worst impulses in American firearms consumerism.
