Thanks All, this is what I figured. That's too bad they are a just a cap gun on steroids because I think it could have been a nice little ''back up'' gun and they look kinda cool. Like a Derringer, cool looking but a close up gun. As far as HI POINT, I have heard a lot more positive than negative reviews and they have a lifetime warranty. At least with that, if you don't completely blow up your hand you get another try at it. Not knocking HI POINT completely, ''but'' a lifetime warranty is a double edged sword. The product is very reliable or junk, So ?Haven't fired one, and wouldn't, but this may interest you:

They later morphed into the RG14, which is what John Hinckley used in 1981 to try and kill President Reagan.
I've owned a Hi-Point, I would take them any day over these.

That looks just like a lot of High standard revolvers.. which were made with some sort of "alloy" frame.View attachment 250274I have a Burgo .22 LR of the same quality made around the same time in West Germany. Cheap pot metal yes but reliable still and pretty accurate.
This one is a pic off the net but mine is in the same shape. They also made a shorter barrel version.
If I saw another in a pawn shop I'd gamble $100 a clean one.
Ooh, interesting.I had no problems with my Hi Point, I think they get more of a bad rap than anything. The SCCY CPX pistols are also very nice, just a bit more than a Hi Point, but also have a lifetime no questions asked warranty. Personally, I think a lifetime warranty is a sign that they have some faith in their products, otherwise a lifetime warranty can cost them a lot of money in the long run. Hi Points are heavy, and ugly, but my .45 JHP was one of the most accurate guns I owned at that time. But given the small price difference for a SCCY, I'd go for the lesser weight and nicer styling of the SCCY.
LMAO. 13 replies and no one has ever fired a Rohm RG .22 even ONCE. I think that may be a testimonial
to the high level of common sense and intelligence possessed by the members of this forum.
FWIW--I also have held one in my hand---but felt no urge to fire it. And I'm a guy that's put a pile of
ammo through a Jennings J-22.
Yeah, it has a spot on the side where an emblem of some sort used to be and for years I thought it was a High Standard because others had said so. Then one day I took off the grip and saw the word Burgo.That looks just like a lot of High standard revolvers.. which were made with some sort of "alloy" frame.

I just got a Rohm rg10(Liberty model) and love it. It is worth the money and time if you get one that needs fixing up. I was kinda skeptical because of all the bad but love the gun! It shoots well and is a fun little gun to shoot!Just wondering, are these little Revolvers as bad as what I hear ? Waste of $ or fun little collectible gun ? Paper weight or just a wall hanger ? Like a Hi Point, I hear some say junk and others say reliable. Don't know ?
