I learned to shoot well with a cheap German made revolver that my older Brother won on a tipboard.
It was an amasingly accurate little .22 double action shaped like a single action smaller tha a Bearcat, I could hit a 6oz coke bottle at fifty yards with it every time.
No explanation for why the little piece of crap would shoot that well, I still can't figure it out.
Brother had another German gun that exceeded all expectations. It was a steel framed snubnosed .38 that you pulled the cylinder pin forward in order to swing out the cylinder. That pistol shot like a target pistol. It had a heavy frame and a five shot cylinder. Looked something like a Charter Arms crossed with an American Bulldog.
No I wouldn't buy one today but those two guns were unusually accurate and smooth.
PS
The worst RG ever made is better than the best Clerke revover I've ever seen.
I think there was a good justification for the Saturday Night Special law, if just to get crap like those guns off the street. They just went too far as usual.
Unfortunatel we now have the Davis and the Raven and a few that remind me of last ditch German and Japanese guns, only less likely to work if needed.
