Amazing Pawn Shop Find: Rohm RG .38 Special Revolver! Worst Gun Ever Made? Shooting Review!

[@bluesbondsman]

I can't help but think about how Blessed you are Young Mixup, I lost my dad when I was 18 in 1984. Shooting with my dad is one of my fondest memories. I would give a lot to have just one more day on the range with him!

[@robertfootball1]

A $150 gun today is a $50 gun 20 years ago. You didn’t overpay, a cheap gun that shoots is always a good thing! I’d have picked it up for that price too.

[@gk5891]

I picked up a Charter Arms UL "Pink Lady" .38 Spl for $150 recently. It had a bad rub mark on the right side of ths pink anodized aluminum frame. It shoots fine and doesn't spit lead. I'm not afraid of pink..

[@ramonosuke]

Sometimes a good revolver is a good revolver 😁. $150 is a steal nowadays glad it functioned properly and met expectations

[@No1Bigbear]

Too many gun snobs too many truck snobs etc...but if it shoots..shoot it...if it drives....Drive it...spending time with family is the true treasure...

The lead weight may have been to meet minimum weight requirements for import under the 1968 Gun Control Act.

[@williamhoppe4500]

Very cool. The first gun I bought for home defense was an RG 22/22 Magnum in 1968. Mine was made in Germany. I think it was $99.00 back then. It did have a zinc frame. Minnesota outlawed guns with a certain low melting point shortly thereafter. It actually looked good and shot just fine. Thanks

[@FrankLadd]

how does Minnesota get a the polymer guns if the frames cannot have a low melting point?

[@williamhoppe4500]

@FrankLadd I never thought of that but probably just because all the law enforcement officers carry them. Good question.

[@HighCappa45]

I just can’t get over the fact that you have taken me back to my childhood this year with your video on the H&R and now the ROHM. Both of these handguns I have learned how to shoot pistols on when I was 8. With both of my grandfather and my Dad passed away now and the pistol were sold off years ago by the family. This video has just taken me back to all them memories. Thanks for doing that and thanks for another awesome video 👍🏼👍🏼 this video was worth $150 to me 100%

[@mixup98]

Hello Daniel. I love your comment. All the hard work and time that go into making these videos are worth it when they help bring back great memories for you and some of my other viewers. Thank you and have a great weekend.

Nice shooting. I used to work in a sporting goods store fifty years ago and we sold a ton of RG pistols. Inexpensive but they always worked. Thanks for sharing.

[@stonefree1911]

Never seen a Rhom I would consider buying, but that one does seem like a semi-decent piece. Was it worth $150? Did you have fun with all this? Then yeah, it was worth it! Nice vid Mix! Also, the footage of the old mill was great! I love it when you do interesting, more natural, content in addition to the gun stuff. The father and son nature vids you used to do were very enjoyable.

[@brittakriep2938]

Correct company name is ,Röhm' , production of real firearms ended long ago. You can still find Röhm blankguns, but as far as i know, now produced by Umarex company. For the reason , that german gunlaw is rather restrictive, so there is nowadays no more a market for cheap real guns, and only two companies are remaining, Weihrauch - Arminius and ME ( Kuno Melcher), the second company produces blankguns, and only for czech market revolvers in 4 and 6 mm Flobert ( the Primer of this tiny rimfire cartridges IS only Charge).

[@yukon065]

I'd have paid that price for this revolver in a minute. It works, and in today's market, $150 is relatively nothing. I've never seen a gun with a weight glued inside; very interesting. I also liked the fact that it's single/double action. Thanks again for the videos.

[@jonsays3762]

Sweet. I picked up Remington 510 in great shape at a pawn shop around the corner for my brother’s daughter last week. A hundred forty bucks for an old straight single shot rimfire is something I just couldn’t walk past! Greetings from next door in NM.

[@mixup98]

Hello jonsays and greetings from Nevada. That old Remington is a great find and it should be an extremely accurate rifle. I used to own a Remington 511, which used a detachable magazine, and I wish I would have done a review on it before I sold it in a yard sale.

[@1977Yakko]

I generally avoid pawn shops. I haven't even stepped into one in years. But these videos at least make me want to take a look.

[@doublebrewski1855]

Having worked in a pawnshop for over 20 years, I can understand that. I occasionally go into other pawnshops in my local area and laugh at the prices. I typically see the same rifles that we have in stock for twice the price, often marked well above retail even.

[@Gods-Shepherds]

Never hurts to look. Never know what cool stuff you're gonna find.

[@jameslohr4943]

Glad the weather is cooling off enough for you two to start making videos again, keep it up!

That's a really great price for that revolver . There's nothin' more satisfying than paying that amount of money and finding out the damn thing works just fine . I think I'll start doing the same 'cause it's obvious that there are great deals out there , and you just gotta find 'em . Thanks for producing & sharing these videos , they're always super entertaining .

[@alextepe4309]

Hello Mixup. I think that your location is an ideal place to do a video and review on a revolver, as the revolver holds a legendary reputation when it came to the “winning” of the American West. Oh, and the soundtrack is spot on :)

[@mixup98]

Hello Alex. I appreciate the feedback on the soundtrack, and yeah, I also thought it fit the video very nicely. 👍😎

[@robertvitrano3757]

Looks like a pretty solid gun. For a150 not a bad deal if it shoots straight

[@billdye3530]

Good deal this time. Never know with the Rohms especially the 22s. Nice grips on the 38 & it was more accurate than I expected. Got a keeper. Stay safe & take care. 👍🙏🇺🇸

[@furmanmackey5479]

I had forgotten the Model 63 ever existed! But seeing your revolver brought back a memory from a B- "modern" Western I have somewhere in my DVD collection. At one point in that movie a Doc Holiday rip off character refers to his two revolvers as "Colt's Thunders" and does a quick draw of sorts from twin shoulder holsters to impress the bad guys. The same bad guys he later "killed" during a High Noon shootout rip off. When I first saw those revolvers, I thought that if they were Colts of any vintage or name somebody in management AND design needed to be fired immediately and drummed out of the firearms industry. Excellent video as usual! Keep 'em comin'!

[@noahcount7132]

Interesting, economical pawn shop find, Mixup. It was also interesting to see the hummingbird moth that swooped in to get a closer look at your can of shaving lather before it became a target.

[@JG-xt9io]

That was a cool old mill , I was hoping you'd show a little of it. I think you did good for $150 , looks to be it good shape and went bang every time. Most of the Rohm's I've seen are the snub nose. Good to see you both out together, having a good time. Thanks for taking us along

[@myfavoritemartian1]

It looks to be better quality than other RG's I have seen over the years. Ya, $150 plinker=GOOD!

[@Leonardokite]

You're definitely the king of pawn shop finds. Very nice gun for a small price. I like old equipment like that. When I was a kid we used to go explore old oil pump installations in Pennsylvania. There was generally a central power station AK an old massive one cylinder gas engine, that pulled on steel rods, kind of like a cable, that went out to various pumps.

[@mixup98]

Fortunately for me there are several pawn shops in my area that usually sell their used firearms at reasonable prices and once in a while I get lucky. If I ever get to Pennsylvania maybe you would consider taking me out to explore some of those old oil pump installations and I'll take you to a few western ghost towns if you ever make it out here.

[@Leonardokite]

@@mixup98 That would indeed be fun, but unfortunately now I live in the Pacific Northwest. I was just back for a class reunions and all the trails in that area are now closed off. Things have changed in 50 years 🤷‍♂️

[@a52091ekt]

I bought one of these years back for 75 bucks and still have it stuck on a shelf .The grips aren't that great but shooting regular load 38's it shoots way better than I expected . I did like the western s/a look with a d/a setup. I appreciate your review of this little trinket. Keep it coming, bring out the oddball stuff.👍

[@granddad-mv5ef]

At the (small) local shop where i worked in the mid 70s, we had a few Rohm RG 38 spl 2 in revolvers. The one you purchased LOOKS so much better! The frame on the 2 in looked like a block of pot metal painted flat black. I never fired one, it didn't look safe.

[@donnyarmstrong9559]

Sorry to hear that your dove hunting seems to be going the same way mine is! Poor at best! I am liken your back stop there! A huge tailings mound! Looks like you may have found a keeper! Livin my best La Vida Loca here in south eastern Arizona

Looks like the rain that we have had has driven the dove out of the area. Maybe it will get better in a week or two but I doubt it. Visiting Tombstone and Tucson has been on my bucket list for decades and hopefully someday my son and I get down there and shoot some video.

[@aarondalton2223]

I can think of at least three shootings that our department investigated involving the RG over the last 20 years. The last one that I saw someone shot with was a 38 special that kinda resembled a Python style. Most of what we encountered was .22 cal. Yours is the best looking one I’ve ever viewed.

[@wireman4029]

Those old timers built some amazing stuff in the mountains and deserts, thats being lost to time. That revolver didn't seem half bad, good find.

[@Salieri47]

Nice find! It looks like you & Ed had a good time. The last Rohn SA knockoff I handled was a .22, & it was a mess. It looked like someone put it in a padded box to protect the finish, then dropped it off a three story building at least 50 times. I would not have trusted it with a single .22 short.

[@mixup98]

[@Courier-Six]

They had one of these in Route 66 G&A for a couple high denomination bills while back in worse condition. Looked like someone used it to pound tent spikes. I still debated buying it because I have a bit of a soft spot for Saturday Night Specials. I handled the revolver and found you need to hold it at halfcock with your thumb to load it. That put me off it really quick for safety reasons alone. Last thing I want is someone at the range who doesn't know any better picking it up when I'm not paying attention and pull an Alex Baldwin

[@ditto1958]

I love your bargain gun videos. You find some steals 😊

[@EC-mc7vg]

Pretty good pick up on that pistol, got to be worth $150. My dad has an old Rohm 40 Snub nose .38, pretty solid little revolver. I picked up a J.P. Sauer&Sohn .22 SAA made in Western Germany and a Colt Army Special .32-20 made in 1911 at a garage sale here in Texas for $150, couldn't pass up the deal.

[@michaelschweimler7292]

The Sauer and Sohn revolvers were actually very good build and solid guns

[@MrTruckerf]

Unless that Colt was worn out you got a good deal on it. I have a pair of them and they are fun and powerful. The .32-20 is a pricey cartridge anymore but I got mine 30 years ago. You used to be able to reload them pretty cheaply.

[@EC-mc7vg]

@@MrTruckerf Unfortunately, someone years ago tried to refinish the old Colt. They put on some kind of deep black ?paint?, not sure what it is, but it appears they sanded on the frame and barrel, the stamping on the barrel is somewhat hard to read and the Colt pony logo on the side of the frame is all but sanded off. The grips are not original wood grips, they have been replaced at some point with black pearl grips, but they are old and in great condition. She is still in working order and could be fired. The bolt is a little worn and I will probably replace it. I will either re-blue it or have it re-blued. It is a neat piece of history and no telling who has owned the gun over the years, could have even been a gangster or cop. Yes, .32-20 is very expensive if you can find it and I don't reload.

[@EC-mc7vg]

@@michaelschweimler7292 It does seem like a very solid pistol and it is in good condition.

[@sombra6153]

I have an RG Model 66 single action in 22. It was broke when my dad brought it home back in the 70s. Another cop had bought it, took it to the range, it broke right out of the box. After disassembly and police armorer diagnosis thst it was a lost cause, it went in the trash. My dad ended up fishing it out, tried to put it back together and get it to work. No luck. It went in a drawer. It’s a real POS. RGs tend to run around $150 average today. The old Handgun Test Magazine wrote articles on the once in a while. Surprisingly occasionally one would work. RGs were designed to go bang a few times. How many times or how accurate they launched bullets were variables that did not concern the manufacturer.

[@FrankLadd]

What a deal! I'd be happy to find one of those. I think the notches might be Safety notches like the North American Arms mini pistols have. You may be able to lower the hammer on a safety notch instead of a chamber so you can carry six rounds loader safely.

[@latigomorgan]

Living the good life!! Not a bad little revolver, either. Hope you found some dove, though. We haven't gotten much rain this summer, so the dove are pretty much passing us by.

[@willdix4407]

Loved the video, I have an old RG63 as well, mine is German made and nickel plated and you don't see them much these days.

[@mixup98]

I'm curious, does your revolver have "Made in Germany" stamped on the barrel? Mine doesn't.

[@ironhorseman8768]

Thanks for another great video. I believe the 'notches' you're referring to on the cylinder are resting places for the firing pin that allows you carry it with 6 loaded and the hammer down.

[@Chaz31358]

That's an incredible deal! I would be skeptical of anything Rohm too, but a SAA pattern double action revolver in anything over .22 mag sells itself at that price. All I'd seen of Rohm before was their .22 LR snubbies, which I and everyone I know could never hit the broad side of a barn with- except for a local hustler in Mexico who I watched use one to shoot an iguana out of a tree.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

Surprisingly nice for a Röhm, I never really hear anything good about any of their guns. It strikes me that this is almost a clone of a Colt Lightning (Thunderer, Rainmaker, etc), with the gate loading and the double-action capability. It's sad to me that those early Colt double-action revolvers aren't copied by anyone. I'd love it even if they don't copy the flimsy lockup and instead just do conventional modern locking, I just want the look and the handling, a new grip frame on a single-action only revolver isn't enough for me.

[@neuro518]

[@aidanfarnan4683]

My only concern would be zinc rot: zinc alloys react badly with lead, so I’d coat the lead weight fully in glue so that it's not touching the frame and clean her really well. other than that, if it works it works.

[@OnTheRiver66]

[@Zantar45]

$150 for an old-style full size .38 revolver is a pretty good deal. Even if it turned out to be finicky, you still have a nice looking gun that can be used a display piece.

Some of those little Rohm.22s were indeed poor but Rohm sure got their act together with the mod 63.

[@0neDoomedSpaceMarine]

I recall I once read some forum thread or article by an old timer, who said that those little scrappy Röhm .22s were fantastic as tacklebox guns because they only had to shoot a shot every now and then, and if you dropped it overboard, it was so cheap and chintzy it wasn't a big deal and you wouldn't miss it much. I believe he resolved to coat the thing in truckbed liner for rust protection (on the steel parts), because it didn't need to look pretty, and it really didn't look pretty to begin with anyway. It's nice to see a more high effort revolver, and for something less usual like a Colt 1873 lookalike with double-action. The thing could pass for a Colt 1877 if you squint.

[@hoffpbass]

Not a bad find! Interesting how the hammer doesn't fully come to rest against the frame when a shot is fired. Accuracy looks plenty good, and reliability the same. All things considered, a fair return for the $$$ spent. From the barrel markings, I'd speculate that it was made in Brazil under license from Rohm GmbH ("Gesellschaft mit beschränkter Haftung", equivalent to LLC) of Germany. You have a nack for finding the most unusual firearms at pawn shops. Well-done! Also enjoyed seeing the old stamp mill, tailing pile, and associated mining digs. Cheers.

[@eviljesus1482]

I swapped a spare 2" Barkeep to a lady (she wanted a snubby .22) for a rg/rohm 66 .22, actually surprised how well it works. Target grips, adj sights (you can cut new rear shapes from a beer can and replace them 😂) So far it seems a perfectly usable farm/woods pistol for trapping and such.

[@kevinklepp5894]

Awsome to see ya back like all your videos

[@jacspring5459]

I kinda like it too! I noticed that you have to hold the hammer back a bit to allow the cylinder to rotate for loading but that's a minor thing really on a plinker like that. Contrats!

[@mixup98]

Unfortunately there isn't a loading notch on the hammer, and the hammer has to be held back manually in order to rotate the cylinder. Must have been a cost saving design.

I have a Rohm model 66 with the 22 magnum cylinder, it's SA only but you can swap in a 22lr cylinder. The frame is cracked just above the grip, so I don't shoot it very often.

I’ll never buy an RG again , first was an rig 23 chrome 22lr , over 50 years ago . The hammer was so soft that the firing pin wore a divot in it and caused light strikes. The next was an RG10 22 short , dropped it on the asphalt getting out of an old Dodge pu ( like the one on the desert) . Gun discharged bullet came up through the running board and shot me in the lower left leg .l have probably left this comment before, all said that 38 might not have a hammer block either.
