Prototypes of the grip were 3D printed and tested by firing. Production grips are injection moulded in a glass-filled polymer.
- The Raptor Grip M500 allows an individual to start with a pistol-grip-only (PGO) 12- or 20-gauge Mossberg 500 or Maverick 88 firearm and legally install a 14-inch barrel, without prior ATF approval or any additional tax paid, as an OAL of 26.5" is maintained.[13]
- The 3D-printed Raptor Grip M500 prototype survived 400 rounds of #8 birdshot, 220 rounds of 00 buckshot, and 40 slug rounds. It never failed. It still exists to this day in perfect condition in the Shockwave Technologies Museum in Salt Lake City, Utah.
- The production version of the Raptor Grip M500 went on sale on December 27, 2011.[14]

- Long version is designed to operate on 9×19mm Parabellum carbines firing fully automatic.[56]
- It fits under the rail of a Samson or similar rail system on the AR-15-type rifle.[56]
- This is a sealed can and is only suitable for use with jacketed bullets.[56]
- Pistol version is designed with a Neilsen which allows it to be used with most of the common John Browning tilting-barrel designs including the swinging-linked M1911 and the cam-lock system operated Glock pistols. The Neilsen is an assembly in the aft end of the suppressor that allows the gasses to push the suppressor forward while allowing the unimpeded rearward movement of the barrel and slide assembly using a stainless steel spring and titanium piston.[57]
- It is able to function well with a wide range of ammo, although its sound reduction performs best with subsonic bullets heavier than 124 grains, with 147 or 158 grain bullets being the quietest.[57]
- It is designed to be run wet or dry, averaging 127.7–128.4 dBA with 147 grain or 127.6–134.2 dBA with 124 grain when dry and 123.1 dBA with 147 grain or 129.1 dBA with 124 grain when wet.[57]
