They are probably of better quality than The Heritage Rough Rider Series of .22 Revolvers!... I remember the days of The Hardware Store and K-Mart "Saturday Night Specials"!..... The Government "Outlawed" the Importation of these types of Handguns because they said that they were used in an overwhelming number of "Sewer-Slides" and Crimes..... Oh, and by the way, in my opinion, ANY Firearm that WORKS is better that a "Pointy Stick" or a "Rock" when it comes to Defense of Yourself and Loved Ones.....

So the purple color isn’t corrosive?

Very interesting. Thank You. How I remember the vile things. I have never seen one of those holsters though. Those were the original "Saturday Night Specials".

With inflation it's around 225usd

I had a rohm 38 double action it was horrible should of kept it but it was something else

Some use strikers, but they are pretty rare

My buddy found one buried in the yard at work……but i bought mine! I absolutely love it!!!!!!!!! My rg10 is my baby!!!

i bought an RG10 a while ago for 50$. i just wanted an example of the WORST gun ever made. it actually works ok.

Had one, called it lil' shaver.

I know Rohm and I never understood, why they made those low quality guns for the US market. Their main business are high precision bushings and tools. If they really wanted, they could make high quality revolvers like Korth.

Röhm , If you don't have ö then Roehm

My dad bought my sister one of these when the whole “Night Stalker” thing was going on and she was living alone in Anaheim. She still has it.

Wrong pronunciation

I inherited a RG .38 special from my grandfather after he passed. I took it shooting one day and the frame cracked in half after 3 shots.

Not legal in California right now. 🤷‍♂️

In my experience the 66 was pretty decent. The one in the video is the roughest one I've seen. But they were cheap, and are now old, so im not surprised.

I had a .38 Special RG double action revolver. Say whay you will but that this was accurate and reliable. It wasn't pretty but it got the job done.

Lmao people used to modify and convert these to fire .22 lr up here in Canada back in the day

The Rohm 10 was the original "Saturday Night Special". As a child in the 60's I remember seeing the ads and the guns at the stores, and darn near everybody had one simply because they were so cheap. They still turn up fairly often as the poor in the South couldn't afford anything else. Bad cylinder timing and light hammer strikes are common with these.

My grandpa’s gave one of these that they cut the firing pin off so we could use it as a toy gun

Even hi point is better

Jeez no forcing cone?

what r the chances of getting this in my reccomendation so cool!!!! I have the rg10(with white grips) alongside a berretta 950 displayed a shelf in my house.

I have an rg 10 in about 90% condition I do shoot it sometimes it double taps one outve the barrel one out of the cylinder next in line inherited from my grampa I also clip long rifle rounds so they'll clear the frame and shoot six rounds of 22lr in the face is sorta scary yah get an extra nostril and an eye patch hahaha fits in a small pocket ankle so concealable

If I inherited this I’d give it to a gun store or pawn shop for free

I became a police officer back in 1985. I considered myself a bit of a gun guy. I remember the first one of these I ever saw. I was still with a training officer. I was astonished. What an unbelievable piece of crap! I said to my training officer, what the heck is that? I've never seen or heard of a gun like that. He said, "Oh, that's an RG. You know, a Real Gun!"

Exacerbates

Actually some version of a Rohm revolver featured in a news story I recall reading, a couple decades ago. Little old retired lady defended herself from a hot home invasion. She fired multiple shots as they tried to get in the door, no indication the would be assailant was hit, but they took to their heels. Her weapon of choice? A little RG 22 short revolver of some type. Probably something she bought from a pawn shop with one box of ammo and had never even fired before. The reason I would guess that, is the officers that came by to take the report were nice enough to reload the gun for her and they mentioned that in the article. Moral of the story I guess is that even the cheapest of cheap guns can save someone's neck. In this case, someone's grandmother, probably on a fixed income.

The Chinese: I can fix them!

There's Röhm for improvement.

Pawn shops that sell Saturday night specials should be sued by the buyer especially not knowing how garbage they are and especially so if they charge a ridiculous amount that coulf get you a much better quality handgun

Mine is the 14. 22LR two inc. Barrel I've had it sence 1965 still fires well 👍🏿🎯👍🏿 any information on it ?

I have a 66 my dad fished out of the trash can at his police range back in the 70s. Something broke for the cop who bought it and after taking it apart and trying to fix it, threw it away. The cylinder wouldn’t lock up. Even if there were parts available, I wouldn’t fix or shoot it. The barrel is loose in the threads. It’s a paper weight and a conversation piece. I’ve got an amusing story about someone trading his 1911 for an RG .38 snub but that’s for another time. Great video. I’ve seen RGs at show going for $150-160 bucks. Not money well spent except for nostalgia.

saturday night specials

Exasperate is not the same word as exacerbate

The 38/40, 66 and 63, and 57 are passable, they're fun little cheapos

The Yugo of firearms

Both Reagan and Flyboy knew what a Rohm was. Named after a gay Nazi?

Weren't this originally designed as signal pistols and only later made to fire live ammo when remade for the US market??

Yeah I had one of those, shed lead and never knew where it was going to hit, they were crap !

The crappy gun you start out with but stays in your inventory for "just in case, last resort"

They work. My mom used the RG snub nose in 22lr to complete her suicide.

Had a RHOM in 38spl that my grandfather owned. Sold it via commission at a gun store during the height of the pandemic gun buying rush.

I remember that in the original 1978 dawn of the dead all the characters had a rohm revolver. It was pretty low budget, they couldn’t even get a smith and wesson model 10.

Who's shelling it?

I inherited one of these (RG10) from my dear old granny. She always had it in her purse. I don't think she ever shot it. Neither did I. I sold it, but don't recall what I got for it.

my dad has a tiny rohm 22 revolver that his friend gave him when he bought a bunch of ammo from him. My dad didn't want it and his friend snuck it into one of the ammo cans lol

The old Saturday night specials cheap junk 😂 they do work some not so good

Was that Phunky Fanfare in the beginning?\
