I just remember when they started pushing gun controls and how they did it. There was a time you could buy guns through the mail. Today they are setting up a permit system to buy a gun. What will tomorrow bring?

Lol.
Flying cars. And 6 different restrooms

Keep up the hope those toilets will be important if you get old.

I have an rg14s I inherited, and pappy i love you, but this pistol is bubblegum. The cylinder has about 40 thou of slop when its locked and its thats just from the "power" of 22lr.

Care to try the .44 Magnum version?

My mom was very poor but she was able to buy a $10 gun to defend her home. The RG in 22lr works good still today and one like it was used to shoot Reagan so it's obvious they work.

I don't think I would buy one myself but as a tool that it's all that can be afforded...well it may work.

Post WWII Germany did not have much left of its industry. They made cars like the BMW Isetta, The Messerschmitt [ used the canopy from the airplane] , etc... They sold cap guns, Gas guns, and tear gas guns in the back of magazines. All these were made for a few cents each. The Pot metal guns came next. After two world wars the Germans were not trusted to make real guns. There are still a lot of the 22 cal revolvers still around. probably because 22 lr does not beat them up as much as any centerfire round does. The one RG you will not find many left was the .357 version. Most did not make it through the first box of ammo! DR

Right after they get the self driving cars to the point they don't kill the passengers and others on the roads.

Buy it, spray paint it silver, become a pimp or drug dealer. You're welcome.

The rohm revolver at Tigard Pawn sold (not to me), I guess the buyer was pretty excited to get it.

What to look for?

For me......it would be a DIFFERENT BRAND of revolver.

I would steer clear at any price eh free would be ok but little to no parts to be had . If you want a cheap 22 go for the Ruger Wrangler and 38 the RI would be the way to go .
