Description:
Advances in castings brought us the Glocks and Kel-Tecs of the 1980s with polymers. The same advances in casting technology spelled the doom of the well made but cheap little steel and pot metal pistols manufactured in Florida by F.I.E. and Excam with Italian and U.S. parts. Some time in the 1980s, companies called Raven Arms, then Jennings, then Davis Industries, sprang up in California and began manufacturing inferior pot-metal pistols. When California adopted some of its stricter laws in the late 1990s, the companies vacated to North Carolina, hence the High Point brand. Sometimes when local shoppers ask us if we carry High Points, we tell them that we’d rather live next door to someone who had a gun than have one of them. Here is a local Raven we probably sold new in 1991. From its 1,650,000 range serial number, it was manufactured in 1990 or 1991. Type is blowback semi-automatic, later lever safety variant, pot metal construction with steel barrel, extractor, firing pin and grip screws; 6+1 magazine capacity; walnut Factory grips. Surface detractions are only moderate, principally an edge flake on the left hand grip panel, and then light streaking and finish dulling on the sides of the slide. We rate it as Very Good, 75 percent vicinity; but photos ought to suffice for our shoppers to judge finish grade for themselves. Mechanically, it is as good as it ever was; bore, chamber, and mechanism are all bright, clean, and excellent. This gun, like all pot metal pistols including the Smith & Wesson 22A, is a cheap made gun. If a person wants a good inexpensive handgun, use Guns America search terms Taurus 82 Robertson. We’re offering this early 1990s Raven for only $ 119.00.
