Clip wont fit

Question
I have a Raven 25 Auto and I just ordered a clip for it and the clip go in only so far and gets stuck and won't go all the way in.Can you tell me what might be wrong.

Answer
Billy,

The Raven 25 has had a long list of malfunctions. I would not depend on it for self defense for this reason. As to what may be the problem concerning the clip, there could be several things.

First, are you sure that you got an original equipment clip and that is in fact designed for your Raven 25.? Very often after-market parts are less than perfect.

The clip also could have damaged portions, IE. the retention fingers on the loading end. Very often they are not adjusted properly and or have been subjected to damage from being dropped etc.

The last time that I looked into it, the clips for a 25 Raven were selling for around $20.00. Considering that brand new, the gun probably sold for around $50 to $75, I personally would not put much more into it dollar wise.

In short, without having benefit of examining the pistol there is no way that I can be of more help.

Since I am not a gunsmith, you may want to have a qualified gunsmith check it out further. At least this will give you a couple of things to check out first.
