Yes, it was a Rotten Gun, indeed. I had one of these at school. It was the only thing I could afford and the only thing I could afford to shoot! Mine was nickel plated and had brown plastic grips that needed tightening every time I shot it. I later sold it and bought a Ruger Standard Auto for $30 more than the RG. That's why I eventually got a Ruger Single-Six. I still wish these junk guns were still available so I could deposit some around the house.
