Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Röhm Gesellschaft RG23 is a compact, double-action revolver chambered in .22 LR, produced under the RG Industries brand—an American offshoot of the German Röhm GmbH. Known for manufacturing affordable, small-caliber firearms, RG established its Miami-based factory in the 1970s in response to the import restrictions imposed by the 1968 Gun Control Act. The RG23, with its 1¾-inch barrel, fixed sights, and synthetic grips adorned with medallions, was designed as a simple, cost-effective revolver intended for basic self-defense or recreational shooting. Its blue finish adds a traditional touch to a utilitarian design.

While mechanically straightforward, the RG23 and other RG firearms became controversial in the 1980s due to their association with the term “Saturday night special”—a label often applied to inexpensive handguns frequently linked to criminal use. The RG23 gained notoriety after an RG revolver was used by John Hinckley Jr. during the attempted assassination of President Ronald Reagan in 1981, leading to high-profile legal challenges against the manufacturer. Although these lawsuits were ultimately dismissed, they contributed to the broader debate over firearm safety and manufacturer liability. Despite its controversial history, the RG23 remains a notable example of budget-friendly revolver production during a pivotal era in American gun regulation.
