My first semi-auto handgun was a Raven .25 that I bought about 20 years ago for 69.95, shot about two or three boxes of shells through it, carried it occasionally, and sold it to a guy I worked with a few months later for 70 bucks even.
I saw one in a gunshop the other day, NIB, for 79.95, which by my reckoning is even cheaper than the one I bought after figuring inflation.
It got me to wondering, the Raven has the reputation as the "saturday night special" of the semi-auto world, are they actual dangerous to shoot, or likely to fail to fire or feed, or are they just cheap? The one I had fired every time I pulled the trigger, and seemed to put the rounds in the general area of where I was aiming.
