Design and Features

The MP-25’s nickel finish delivers corrosion resistance and a classic aesthetic. Its 2.5-inch dimensions keep weight and footprint minimal. Being a semi-automatic in a small package, it offers easier follow-up shots compared with single-shot options, while the 25 AUTO chambering provides very light recoil and manageable handling for most shooters.

Caliber considerations

.25 AUTO (25 AUTO) is best understood for its low recoil and compact cartridge size. That makes it suitable for close-range defensive scenarios and very comfortable for shooters sensitive to recoil, but users should be mindful of the cartridge’s reduced terminal performance versus larger calibers and select quality ammunition accordingly.

Practical use and maintenance

As a budget-minded semi-auto, the MP-25 is straightforward to field-strip and maintain. The absence of a case in the listing means buyers should plan for secure transport and storage solutions. For training, reserve dedicated range time to get familiar with magazine changes and clearing malfunctions in a compact platform.

For collectors or those who want a serviceable spare, the RAVEN ARMS MP-25’s documented SERIAL NUMBER 1682878 and metal finish add to its identifiable character. Because it’s listed in the Semi Auto category, compatibility with common accessories is limited, so consider holster fit and magazine availability before purchase. View product details and pricing
