Saw this at a gun show last weekend. Wow. Guy said the engraver "probably isn't going to do it anymore" (he's elderly.)

Pretty!

It is, in a feminine sort of way. Reminds me of what you might find one of the James Bond girls carrying in a garter holster or tucked into her bra.

I like it. Too bad it is not a real Baby Browning or I would have to have it....

Why do peeps spend time and money on cheeze whiz?

?

That is a fifty dollar gun!

louiethelump · May-26-12 16:05

You better check again. That is the currently made, very high quality copy that sells for 600-700 dollars and the fancy versions for more.

Run a GunBroer search and you will see what I mean.

I don't care....it is not real!

I have had many copies over the years and it really is not a difficult task to copy the gun. It is as simple as a rock. I do love the design, that is why I had so many of them but after holding and firing several of the real deals I gradually lost interest in the copies. They are, after all a simple admiration of something wonderful and genius!

OK, OK, don't pop a vein dad!!!

You don't have to have one then...................

PSA is the licensed manufacturer of the FN "Baby."

Angelo Bee is a fine, renowned engraver.

Yes PSA has rights to make a copy. Is good looking, yet crap. Had 2 at different times, never reliable shooters. OTOH, I had a first production raven that never failed. 25acp is a non-starter and expensive, sold them all.

mndoug · May-27-12 11:05

I've had a couple of good Ravens, too, and always wondered why everyone dumps on them so badly. For the money...

louiethelump · May-27-12 12:05

cause they are junk, not matter what they cost.



   If have a plastic hammer, you don't say "it does not drive nails reliably, but it is not bad with thumb tacks for what it cost"



   If you have a pot metal anvil in your shop, you don't say "well, when I hammer on it, big pieces of it break off, but it is an OK anvil for what it costs"

bill_deshivs · May-27-12 13:05

I have never handled the PSA version, but they are steel guns, of the original FN design. Are the guns improperly fitted? Why are they junk?

louiethelump · May-27-12 14:05

PSA is not junk Bill, they are well made quality guns. You skipped over Doug's question as to why eveyone dumps on Ravens, as he has had a couple of good ones.



   I was responding to the post directly above; as I am now.

PSA was crap as a shooter, as I said. Pretty yes, partially functional. In my book useless as a firearm. Ravens, yeah zinc alloy or pot metal. Reliable, crap in my case.

chopprs · May-27-12 19:05

.......what he said. I had one, I had a Frazier as well. Neither of them were great guns...I also had an original Baby Browning and it WAS a nice gun!

......I didn't pop a vein, I just agree with Jupiter, they are crap!
