The OP filename is fucked, here is a Raven Arms MP-25. The OP pic is of a .32 Davis P32

The original: The Clerke 1st MFG. in .22LR. Less than $20 new in the 1970s, these were used so often in crimes that the company eventually closed from political pressure.

I had a Raven a few years back. It was actually a good little plinker. Other than issues with one bad mag, it went bang every time you pulled the trigger. It would print a fist-sized group at 15 feet, which I think it pretty good for what it is. I tossed it in on a complicated trade--I already had a Jetfire, still do-- but I wish I held on to it. They're had to find these days.

It goes to show just how cheaply you can actually produce firearms as long as you don't care if they last over a hundred rounds, which criminals definitely don't since its a one and done thing anyways.
Matthew Nguyen
They generally last longer than 100 rounds, since it's just a .22LR. Just like the Heritage Arms Rough Riders available today, they were generally considered accurate enough for basic pest control and defensive use. The main two users were old people looking for a desk/purse gun, and criminals.

Heard these and the Phoenix Arms HP-22 are decent SNS
Brandon Jenkins
I don't know if this counts, it's called a Crow Killer. Cheap little single shot .22 that they used to give to kids in the 20s and the Great Depression, to help hunt for food and keep pests away from farms. It's a Stevens Arms Little Scout.

>3 different safeties
>manual action
lmao no

What's funnier than 24?
Asher Torres
The Phoenix is damn good for $150
Carson Cooper
OP here, this is exactly what I want. Yes. More please. I love cheap garbage weapons.

Laser 25 was the model, the manufacturer was Sundance Industries-- the owner of Sundance was the nephew of George Jennings, who designed the Raven .25acp.
Carter Howard
Phoenix is a semi auto my guy. Of course I assume you were trying to joke. But yeah, those safeties are redundant as fuck, which is why I'd buy the Jimenez over the Phoenix
Joseph Fisher
its junk at any price
Anthony Taylor
What are the more "high quality" saturday night specials? I've heard that the FIE Titans were pretty alright.
Kayden Reed
Depends on which manufacturers would count. I would say Taurus, Hipoint, Heritage Arms, and maybe Keltec. Also maybe DiamondBack.
Kevin Lopez
they are a lot of fun
Landon Campbell
Nice pic friend
Dominic Powell
Is the barrel cast?????
Owen Hill
A thin, rifled barrel sleeve, made from steel, surrounded by pot metal

i picked up a Jimenez .380 for $60. shoots straight, but the pin that holds the extractor has a tendency to work its way out

Are any of these even viable for home defense?

>Are any of these even viable for home defense?
I can't vouch for the Rolm or RG revolvers-- I've seen them in pawn shops, but never fired on-- but I have shot Jennings, Davis, and Raven "ring of fire" guns. While they work, they're small caliber and not the best to bet your life on. On the other hand, they're better than no gun at all, and even 5-6 rounds of .22, .25, or .32 in a junkie's face trying to crawl in your bathroom window would probably discourage him.
Jonathan Howard
I use to have one of these. No idea what happened to it. Oh well it was only $50
Jaxson Long
I don't give a fuck if it's just a .22, I wouldn't ever shot that. It looks like it explode from just holding it
