The factory standard magazine for the Raven Arms MP-25, a .25 ACP semi-automatic pistol, typically holds six rounds. Larger capacity magazines, often referred to as “extended” magazines, offer increased ammunition capacity for this compact firearm. These aftermarket accessories provide the user with more rounds before requiring a reload.
Higher capacity magazines can be advantageous in situations requiring multiple shots, although this advantage must be weighed against the added bulk and potential impact on concealability. The MP-25, known for its affordability and small size, was a popular choice for concealed carry. The choice between standard and extended magazines involves balancing firepower with practical considerations related to concealed carry. Historical context suggests these accessories gained popularity alongside the rise of the MP-25 in the late 20th century, reflecting a desire among some owners for increased capacity despite the inherent limitations of the platform.
