Raven .25 acp semi-auto

[Diragono]

My father-in-law has a Raven .25 acp semi-auto pistol. Yesterday, we went to the gun range and he, my wife and mother-in-law were having fun plinking while I was over on the rifle range. I heard about 6 rounds go off then they told me they couldn't get it to fire.

When I went over to check, the gun is chambering the round correctly but when you pull the trigger nothing happens. You can hear a slight click but that is it. Nothing will happen, and the slide doesn't open either(which I'm assuming this is a blowback pistol). Manually pulling the slide will eject the round without problem so it seems that something has went wrong with the firing pin?

I don't know much about guns, and was curious if anyone had a similar problem or even might know what to do to fix it.

That is an issue with the Raven 25's. They will have the firing pins break from dryfiring or just from a lot of use. The firing pin acts as the ejector as well so it sees some abuse.

As far as getting it fixed I am not sure where you might find a replacement.

I have a raven .25 but it's never been fired. It sounds exactly like a broken firing pin.

Ah, I may take it to Frontier, I think they have a gunsmith...see what they can do with it

EDIT: Actually, after looking it seems you can find them for under $100, so I may just find another one for him.

I don't think that the firing pin is very hard to change on those. Numrich web site has replacements for $16.70.
