The 25 does not offer much power wise. However many times just producing a gun will end a confrontation. It is certainly better than no gun at all. If it comes to a real life and death situation, I want a 45, Would settle for a 40 S&W as a second place and a good Nine as a bottom line.

If you clean the Raven after every couple magazines of ammo, it will function pretty well. Get the hottes ammo you can find. That will increase its functioning.
