I am wanting to add an adjustable trigger (pinky) rest to my Raven Pro. I live in Alabama so I am forced to order online and cant run by a shop to see which ones fit... Any idea which ones will fit the Raven Pro? Thanks for the help!

Petzl Sum'tec sliding rest should fit.

Why do you want to add a pinky rest to a raven pro? Not exactly a fun ice climbing tool.

I wouldn't be too sure of that without trying first.... Petzls trig rest are nice if they fit but they are sized to their products and there is a good chance the BD shaft size is bigger which will make retro fitting hard.

Yeah. +1 on that. The Petzl Sum Tech itself actually fits the bill on what you're trying to achieve with your Raven. There's literally no reason to use the Raven in such a way that you'd need a trig rest. It's just not made for that, there are so many other tools that fill that hybrid Mtn Axe/Ice Tool niche you're looking for (my personal fave is the BD Venom, throw a trig rest on THAT puppy and you're talking business in action).
Guideline #1: Don't be a jerk.
