There were three styles of grips.
The safety determines the type. Note the cut outs on their tops. The top left image is the original First Model. The middle image is the Old Model. The New Model is shown far right. The New Model is illustrated in the above parts diagram. Grips are sold in pairs unless otherwise noted. Variations in factory grip styles. |

The Black Pearl Grip at
the top left is for a First Model P25 and is the only example I have ever seen. Most First Model P25 grips were white pearl. The Walnut Grip second to left was commonly found on Old Model P25/MP25's. Next is the very controversial and rather rare Pink Pearl Grip on an MP25. The Black OEM Grip to the far right was used on late model Raven Arms MP25's and also on some Phoenix Arms Raven pistols. The Phoenix Arms Raven is identical to the Raven Arms and the parts are interchangeable. The one unique feature of the Phoenix Arms Raven pistols is the magazine disconnect incorporated into the last ones they produced. The right grip of these pistols has a cutout for the disconnect spring (Part 129) which is necessary if your going to keep the spring in place. These grips can be used on any Raven even if it never had this spring. The picture below shows the grip on the left with the cutout and a standard grip on the right. |

I initially thought that there were only two variants to the Raven triggers. The bottom one from the First Model and the top one found on everything else. I was wrong. I've now identified 4 different triggers that will not interchange with each other without modifications. All of which can be found on the identically named Raven P25. Makes parts searching fun. Trigger #1 is from a First Model P25. It is rounded, has a solid bottom and the disconnector (Part 119) is square at the top. Trigger #2 is from an early Old Model P25 and has a fully open bottom exposing a much thinner spring, a shorter ledge in front of the pivot hole and a flat rectangular area at the top rear. The disconnector has a rounded front area at it's top. Trigger #3 is also from an Old Model P25, but has a half open bottom with a larger spring and a pronounced round bump at the top rear. Seems they went back to the squared off top with the disconnector. Trigger #4 is found on later Old Model P25's all the way through the Phoenix Raven series. It has a solid bottom with the larger spring and a rounded top on the disconnector. The ledge on the top front is also noticeably longer and some are slightly beveled. |
