RAVEN Hi-Capa 3.8 Pro GBB Pistol w/Red Dot Sight

If you like Hi-Capas but are seeking something more compact, the RAVEN Hi-Capa 3.8 Pro GBB Pistol w/Red Dot Sight combines the 'Capa styling and customisation options with a compact, Glock 19-like size. As with all RAVEN Hi-Capas, we have a full metal build with a 6.03mm tightbore inner barrel pre-installed, giving you an impressive platform for a remarkable price.

This variant is equipped with a pre-installed red dot sight, allowing you to acquire your targets quickly in any ambient lighting level. The red dot sight is styled after the popular RMR style sight, offering multiple brightness settings and full adjustability, requiring a CR2032 3V button cell (not included) to power it. If you fancy a red dot sight-equipped pistol but not the faff that goes along with sourcing the right mount plate and sight for your pistol, the RAVEN Hi-Capa 3.8 Pro GBB Pistol w/Red Dot Sight will give you want you need without the pre-requisite effort!

Starting at the tip of the outer barrel we can find 12mm CW female barrel threads, allowing you to mount a tracer unit or suppressor with the addition of a VORSK or RAVEN thread adapter. If you decide to run a tracer or suppressor, we recommend going for the shortest and lightest you can find to avoid hindering the gas efficiency of the Hi-Capa 3.8 Pro. 

Moving rearwards, we come to the shortened Hi-Capa slide, which features light-enhancing front and rear open iron sights with green inserts for a perfect sight picture which is easy to acquire quickly, standing out well in all but the darkest conditions. The slide itself, like the controls, is beautifully finished in either gold or silver, giving the pistol a glamorous look that will definitely turn heads on the skirmish field.

Mounted at the rear of the slide, we are treated to a "BDS" red dot sight pre-installed. This means target acquisition speed is improved and the RAVEN Hi-Capa 3.8 Pro is rocking the cutting-edge red dot-equipped look, putting it right in line with high-end customised GBB pistols. The red dot sight requires a single CR2032 button cell (not included) to power it. To install your battery you will need to remove the red dot sight from the mount via the two Allen screws on the top. With this done, insert your CR2032 cell into the bottom of the sight and reinstall it on the mount. To turn it on, simply press either of the two side brightness adjustment buttons and to turn it off, long press both simultaneously.

Moving down to the frame and pistol grip we can find the controls of the Hi-Capa 3.8 Pro, identical to other Hi-capa models in the RAVEN range and very well placed for intuitive operation. The ambidextrous manual safety sits right beneath the shooter's thumb for fast access, and the extended slide release can also be reached from a firing grip. The manual safety locks the trigger and hammer, preventing the pistol from firing, but this obviously only works when the hammer is cocked. 

The Hi-Capa pistol series features an extra level of safety in the form of the beavertail grip safety; a proven design which dates back to this pistol's Granddaddy, the 1911. This safety prevents the pistol from firing if the grip safety is not depressed, meaning you will never have an accidental discharge from snagging the trigger on gear. Like the manual safety and slide lock, the beavertail safety is also finished in either gold or silver, depending on the variant you choose, adding some exciting contrast to the design. 

At the front of the alloy frame, we can find a 20mm Picatinny pistol rail, ideal for mounting tactical flashlights and lasers, should the mission require it. The magazine release can be found on the left side of the grip and is a slightly raised design which is easy to hit, but not so easy that you can accidentally drop your magazine in the heat of a firefight!

Both the hammer and trigger of the Hi-Capa 3.8 Pro have a skeletonised design, reducing the weight of the pistol to only what is necessary for optimal performance. The pistol grip of the Hi-Capa design is a modular part, separate from the alloy frame, and is made from textured polymer for excellent gripping qualities. This part can be swapped out for aftermarket Hi-Capa grips if you prefer something a bit more interesting but its gripping texture and slightly flared magazine well make the standard grip absolutely adequate for the job. The grip texturing extends to the trigger guard, giving you something to grab onto with your support hand and allowing more modern shooting grips to be used. 

Now that we have you drooling over the looks of this pistol, let's talk about its performance. The cyclic rate is excellent, as one would expect with a 3.8 Hi-Capa due to its shortened, weight-reduced slide. The 3.8 Pro even outpaces the other RAVEN and VORSK Hi-Capa offerings because of the combination of the shorter slide and the massive gas reservoir within the Hi-Capa's full-sized magazine providing ample propellant for all 28 rounds and then some! Like the other Hi-Capas from RAVEN, the 3.8 Pro features a 6.03mm tight bore inner barrel, granting it exceptional accuracy for a pistol of this size.

If you're already equipped with a RAVEN or VORSK Hi-Capa and a full loadout of magazines but want a more compact alternative, the RAVEN Hi-Capa 3.8 Pro GBB Pistol w/Red Dot Sight is exactly that. This mini 'Capa saves weight, improves gas efficiency and is faster to draw than the original with the same holster and mag compatibility, ideal for those who want to reduce weight on their belt for more in-game agility!
