"I have had this (gun) since 1955 and never been fired. Never been fired," Dave said.
Well, the gun is not a virgin anymore!

From a defensive firearm's perspective, it's hard to argue with the comfort of "knowing" that 100% of your use has been in successful defense of the owner. Kudos, kudos, kudos!

Take note Chicago. It's hard to argue with the outcome but someone needs to get this man a proper caliber and a little range time. We need to keep him in the community for years to come.

Good job, old timer.

To me it almost looks like a colt, frame wise but no rampant colt or colt grips.

Gotta love the old guys. Someone should definitely upgrade his weapon to a .32 or a 9mm, .38 spl.

Good job Dave! I hope the scum bag is quietly bleeding out under his rock.
Congrats to this older home owner, and hopefully he'll have no more uninvited visits.

It was an RG22 by Rohm. One of the ones the cognoscenti love to hate.

A "Friday night" special, in this case.
Kudos to the guy for refusing to be a victim.

Yes, a Rohn made in Germany and according to my 2011 pricing guide has little or no value. I have seen a few get passed, no bid, at several recent gun auctions. Like I have said many times, any gun is better than no gun......and the old guy proved it..
