Our Top 5 RAVEN EU Series Pistol Accessories
So you've got your hands on a brand new Raven EU Series Pistol? It's time to pick some new accessories to go with that bad boy to take your pistol to the next level.
From extended mags, to torches and holsters we have it all, but what are our favourite bits of kit. We've talked to the guys from our Retail Shop, based in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, and asked them what 5 things they would recommend to someone buying a new Raven Pistol.
So what are you waiting for? Check out our suggestions below!
NUPROL EU-Series Pistol Retention Paddle Holster
A retention holster designed to fit snugly WE Europe EU Series Airsoft Pistols and can be attached to the users belt. The holster is designed to allow the user to quickly and effectively draw their pistol during combat at maximum speed, whilst still remaining safe.
The holster can be attached to belts and trousers to hold it in place, and you can even remove the back paddle and attach it to a MOLLE rig, vest or belt using the NUPROL MOLLE Holster Adapter.
We would recommend this holster over any fabric holster because it locks your pistol into place, stopping the pistol from jumping out if you don't secure it correctly. We couldn't even count the amount of times we've had to help someone search through the bushes at Halo Mill: Proving Grounds when they've ditched their pistol whilst running.
RAVEN EU Series Extended 50Rnd Gas Magazine
A replacement, spare or 'special treat' magazine for your gas-powered EU Series pistol, which holds a frightening 50rnds to keep your sidearm blazing throughout the day.
It does not matter whether you need more magazine, or you just want magazines, having 50 rounds to fire from a pistol is not only amazingly fun, but stops you having to reload every two seconds. These magazines are amazing in CQB, allowing you to keep shooting for longer than other pistol users. Ever worried about firing suppressing shots with your pistol, that's a thing of the past, now you don't have to wait for that perfect shot: just pull the trigger.
Whether you want to maximise how long you can stay deep behind enemy lines, rely on your pistol as a primary weapon or just love the look of a big ol' extended mag, the Raven EU Series Extended Magazines will not disappoint.
NUPROL NX200 Pistol Torch
A torch designed to be fit to a range of railed Pistols, giving the ability to quickly acquire targets in low light conditions whilst allowing the user to keep both hands on their Weapon.
The torch can be slid onto the lower pistol rail on the front of the pistol, allowing you to either blind your target in CQB, or actually allow you to see, depending on how dark it is. Although there are other Airsoft Pistol Torches available, but we like this one because of its low profile and finger switch on the rear of the torch, allowing you to turn the torch on or off using your index finger between shots.
This is perfect for any Night Game or CQB Skirmisher, light up an entire corridor or sweep out corners in any room with added accuracy and visibility.
Xcortech XT301 MK2 Tracer Unit
The smallest Tracer Unit in the world just got better! Now brighter and more efficient than ever before, the Xcortech XT301 is back in business in its' MK2 form. Compatible with both 14mm CCW and 11mm CW Pistol Threads, the XT301 MK2 will help you to own the night.
If you're not familiar with an Airsoft Tracer Unit, they're designed to flash as the BB travels down them to charge special Tracer Airsoft BBs which are made from special glow in the dark materials to give the visual effect of tracer rounds. The tracer unit screws onto the end of the threaded barrel, and you fill your magazine with tracer BBs.
Glowing tracer BBs are great because you can use them for a few things: putting down suppressive fire, making it super easy to see if you've actually hit someone, and well: they look super cool. This tracer unit can also be fit to your main rifle as well, so you're going to get more use out of it just than for your pistol!
Don't forget you'll also need to grab yourself a RAVEN Pistol Thread Adapter 12mm to 14mm CCW to fit it to RAVEN brand pistols.
RAVEN EU Series 17/18/33 25rnd CO2 Magazine
A CO2 powered magazine designed for use in the RAVEN EU Series 18 GBB pistol and WE Europe's G-Series of pistols, which performs better than traditional gas magazines in colder weather. If CO2 is known for anything, its known for the punch it packs over less powerful gas, making it perfect for when it comes to winter. Rather than struggling with green gas and firing in short bursts grab yourself some CO2 mags and just keep shooting.
The only warning we have is that these magazines may be too powerful to use during the summer, but that's ok, just switch back to your normal green gas mags and keep playing.
So there is our list, what do you think? Hopefully we've given you some ideas on how to take your RAVEN Airsoft EU Series Pistol to the next level!
