Does anyone know what is the historical significance of this revolver? No 'peeking'! Good luck!

Looks like the "saturday night special" that was used to shoot Reagan back in the 80's.

Scott is correct, this is the RG .22 revolver used to shoot Prs. Reagon and get the whole Brady non-sense started.

I believe we have some winners! It was a Rohm RG-14. I'll have to find a 'tougher' question the next time.

Gee I did not even get a chance to answer, but that was my guess as well before reading on.
