The MP-25 is a scant few inches in size and was developed by Raven Arms to be a cheap, effective handgun. The MP-25 has also been called a 'Saturday Night Special' and falls under the general term of 'Junk Handguns.'

Key people Paul Jimenez Products, Raven Arms was a firearms manufacturer established in 1970 by firearms designer George Jennings. The prohibiting the importation of inexpensive handguns prompted Jennings to design the MP-25, a -caliber, and enter the firearms business. Raven has been referred to as the original 'Ring of Fire' company; the Ring of Fire companies were those known for producing inexpensive handguns. Raven kept manufacturing costs to a minimum by building their guns from injection-molded, a zinc alloy.

History [ ] Before Jennings developed the MP-25, a friend who owned a pawn shop that sold firearms complained to Jennings that his supply of inexpensive imported handguns (typically made by ) had been cut off due to the Gun Control Act of 1968, resulting in a significant loss of sales. At the time, Jennings operated a machine shop that made parts for Southern California aerospace companies. Jennings established Raven Arms to produce the first Raven, the P-25 for his friend, and over the next 20 years, the company sold approximately 2 million variations of the pistols. The first variation of the Raven had a large button sliding safety on the side, and was manufactured in Baldwin Park, California.

The second variation changed the safety to a smaller sliding safety, but retained the designation of P-25, and was manufactured in Industry, California (as were all other subsequent Ravens). The third variation changed the design of the pistol slide serrations and was designated the MP-25. The fourth and final variation of the pistol removed the sliding safety and changed it to a upward moving disk safety and retained the designation MP-25. In parallel with this growth, gun-control advocates started pushing legislation in, in state capitals, and in city councils to ban inexpensive weapons.

In November 1991, a fire destroyed the Raven Arms factory. Jennings retired and sold his designs to. Phoenix was owned in equal shares by Jennings’ ex-wife, his children, four of his grandchildren, and by Raven's former general manager.
