I gave a guy 25.00 for an RG 22 just because he needed money. It actually shot pretty good a couple times then the hammer spring broke. It is in my safe somewhere I have never looked at it again.
They are very cheap junk guns, I just did not want it to end up in the hands of a person with bad ideas so I will keep it. Maybe some day the local Gov will have a gun buy back and I can get 100.00 bucks out of that POS. |

This gun is for what it was made for, to be stored in a drawer, and fire when needed, at least a few of times. It is not meant to be fire extensively.

The Original Saturday Night Special.
If you're seriously considering this as a home defense gun, please rethink. As a range toy, for $25, sure, why not. But not home defense. |

I used to buy them for around $ 5 to $25 plus tax from L.E. auctions in the 1990s. Some shot pretty decently, especially the .38 Specials. I did not trust the built quality to last in the gravest extreme, if you know what I mean...

I purchased a NIB RG10 revolver at a gun show a few months back. I thought it was cool because the original receipt was with it showing a purchase price in the 60's of around 13 bucks. Everything I have read says it is safer to be shot at with it than use it as defense weapon.

A friend had someone give him a Rohm .22 revolver since he was a gun guy (friend of the family wanted to get rid of it).
We took it to the range. Six shot cylinder IIRC, 18-20 trigger pulls to make them fire. It's a good fishing weight. |

The joke back in the 60's was that Rohm/RG stood for "Rotten Gun".
Currently Rohm guns are prime money makers at police gun "buy back" programs. Often the buy-back pays more money than the buyer paid to get it. |

My cousin had one that we took on a hunting trip back in the mid-70's. You did NOT want to stand beside it when it was being fired. I think it spit more lead out the sides than came out the barrel!!!

I've got an RG-14 I bought at a friend's pawn shop for ~$50, IIRC. It's pot metal and plastic grips, but it goes "bang" every time I pull the trigger. DA trigger pull is extremely heavy, and SA is extremely light.
Loaded with either ratshot or CCI Stingers, it's my tacklebox gun for water moccasins. |

Therefore, a ban is completely logical. Can't have those high powered (.22LR), high capacity (6 shots) assault pistols fall into the wrong hands again. |

The smaller Roehm revolvers already fell under the 68 GCA and weren't importable anymore when Reagan got shot.

ou might be right that they were assembled in the States for a while, I remember that Roehm got sued out of business.

RG .38s are worth $25
They aren't worth much more than that but they are worth $25 |
