RG model 14S

Yes, the are really junk.

The odds are you are not going to get hurt, like I said, it has been proof tested.

Here's the deal, you buy it, you will be lucky if you shoot 100 rounds thru it before somethings going to break.

The gunsmith is gonna charge you at least another $50.00 to fix it, providing he can find or make a part.

So if you opt not to fix it, you will have spent approx. .50 per round to fire your RG, not counting the ammo of course. As you know, it's not supposed to cost that much to go plinking with a .22.

So if you fix it, it will probably break sometime during the next 100 rounds.

Trust me on this one. If you look in the opinion section I doubt you will see any posts by me regarding a handgun sucking, except for this one.

Pass on this, you'll be glad you did.

I think these are the decenents of the old Arminius revolvers from Germany. I have one that I use as a blank pistol for dog training. One can usually find these cheaper on the used rack than a new blank pistol. This is my second one, the first was bought by my dad back in the mid 1960s when he was stationed in an area that frowned on civilian ownership of anything centerfire. If I remember he traded a pair of worn out tennis shoes for it and a chicken. I shot it for quite a while until it went out of time and the cost of rebuilding it would have been much greater than it was worth. I found a second one at a gun show for $50 and bought it as I had a parts gun at home. I am still using it, hundreds of real rounds and thousands of blanks later. The main problems I found on both guns were pins (few scres are used) backing out, any screws there are loosen, even with Loc-tite, and it is very inaccurate. My current one had adjustable sights but the rear broke off one day as it is made of cheap cast potmetal rather than steel. It wold probably make for a fine plinker if you have no real expectations of accuracy. With care and the 8 round cylinder full, I can generally pop 3 cans off the rail at 25 feet without too much trouble. I'll do 6 cans with 6 shots at 50 feet using my dad's S&W 17 in half the time. For $50 I might buy it but my expectations and use would be very different than what you may be thinking. Otherwise, $50 is a quater of the way to a new Ruger MkII or S&W 22A which I think are very good guns.
