Have the PT22 and not the .25ACP version. Though you folks are correct about possible iffy ignition with the 22lrf. I have never had one not go off. Then again,that may be fate and nothing else. I use CCI Mini mags and have had very good success with function so far. Found that the Black Hole syndrome in aquiring a .25ACP version, in this part of the country, seemed to nulify getting one. Had the same trouble with aquiring a Bersa a few years back. Such is life.

According to many of the Gun Gurus, Ravens are supposed to be pretty reliable for a cheaply made pistol. It is a ammo experimentation thing. I have many soft cover books and mags that harp on the Raven reliability. Would do the 100 to 200 round test just to make sure. It might be a house gun, but a discreet carry one? It is a single action striker version and I would not want to carry a pistol locked and cocked in the pocket or elsewhere. Safties and mechanical devices can fail easily or be wiped off safe by movement by accident. Would not want to have to rack the slide to chamber one in an emergency when seconds or fractions of a second on the draw can count. Too many variables for Mr. Murphy to cause to screw up on. For those with money problems and need some form of protection and for those who like .25ACPs, they may make sense. Won't slam a person's choice. The best choice is usually the bigger calibers. Whatever one shoots the best should be what the use. These new .17 caliber touted as self defense revolvers. No way. That is the exception to my rule on criticising a pick.

Now for the hard part. Will it stop 150 pound mice and heavier? Just kidding folks. After all, I have a PT22. It is not the main armament though. Mouse guns fill a niche for those in need,despite the small size. And yes, they are underated.
