'''Raven Arms''' was a firearms manufacturer established in 1970 by firearms designer George Jennings. The [[Gun Control Act of 1968]] prohibiting the importation of inexpensive handguns prompted Jennings to design the '''MP-25''', a [[.25 ACP|.25-caliber]] [[semi-automatic pistol]], and enter the firearms business. Raven has been referred to as the original "Ring of Fire" company, a term describing companies known for producing inexpensive [[Saturday night special]] handguns.<ref name="Freudenberg2014">{{cite book|last=Freudenberg|first=Nicholas|title=Lethal But Legal: Corporations, Consumption, and Protecting Public Health|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=6M3RAgAAQBAJ&pg=PA48|date=January 21, 2014|publisher=Oxford University Press, USA|isbn=978-0-19-993720-2|pages=48–52}}</ref>

Raven kept manufacturing costs to a minimum by building their guns from injection-molded [[zamak]], a zinc alloy.
