Raven MEU Dual Tone Blue

Raven MEU 1911 Gas Blowback Pistol (Pre Two-Tone) – Blue/Black

Command the field with a high-performance modern 1911 that requires no UKARA or valid defence waiting time. Manufactured by NUPROL's renowned Raven division, the Raven MEU GBB in Blue pairs an eye-catching metallic blue slide with a matte-black alloy lower frame, delivering crisp gas blowback recoil, all-weather versatility, and instant skirmish-ready compliance right out of the box.

Heavy-Duty Metal Build & Aggressive Modern Styling

Unlike lightweight polymer sidearms, the Raven MEU is constructed almost entirely from heavy-duty aluminium alloy. This full-metal construction creates a satisfying, authentic weight (1.2kg) in the hand and produces a snappy, metallic recoil kick with every shot.

The slide features front and rear cocking serrations for easy press-checks and racking under high stress. Textured polymer grip panels paired with a ribbed mainspring housing provide a locked-in, non-slip hold in wet conditions or while wearing tactical gloves.

Dual-Fuel Versatility (Green Gas & CO2 Ready)

Engineered to operate seamlessly across all UK seasons, the Raven MEU comes factory-configured for standard Green Gas, but includes a bonus CO2 nozzle and heavy-duty CO2 recoil spring in the box.

• Summer Performance: Run standard Green Gas for smooth, gas-efficient cycling during warm skirmish days.
• Winter Reliability: Swap in the included CO2 spring and nozzle to run high-pressure CO2 magazines (sold separately) when temperatures drop, preventing winter freeze-up.

Precision Tightbore Barrel & Dual Safety Suite

Accuracy is driven downrange by an internal 6.03mm precision tightbore inner barrel paired with an adjustable rotary hop-up unit accessed by separating the slide. Up front, the 11mm CCW inner barrel threading accepts thread adapters for attaching tracer units or mock suppressors.

Safety is paramount: the MEU incorporates both an ambidextrous frame thumb safety and a functional extended beavertail grip safety, ensuring the trigger cannot be pulled unless a proper shooting grip is established.

Key Features:

• Pre Two-Tone Factory Blue: Fully VCRA compliant out of the box—no waiting around for custom painting or UKARA registration.
• Full-Metal Construction: Solid alloy slide, frame, and internal lockwork deliver heavy, hard-kicking blowback.
• 6.03mm Precision Tightbore Barrel: Ensures tighter shot groupings and increased trajectory consistency.
• Dual-Fuel Ready: Ships with spare CO2 nozzle and heavy-duty spring kit for winter performance tuning.
• 11mm CCW Threaded Barrel: Easily attach 14mm CCW thread adapters for tracer units and suppressors.
• Ambidextrous Safety Controls: Extended ambidextrous thumb safety doubles as a comfortable rest for your support thumb.
