CZ 75 original

Yeah, you'd think the gun used to shoot Reagan would be better known, if only as a rare time someone fired six shots from an RG14 and actually hit the thing he was aiming at with one of them.

It didn't kill him, so I guess it didn't fall into infamy like the Carcano that alledgadley shot JFK. I knew a kid once who though Reagan was shot with an Uzi because of the USSS's case dropped on the ground that the Uzi was held in. I told him it was a .22 revolver, but I didn't know what type.

About thirty years ago I worked for Barkers, and we sold a lot of RGIs in both .22 and .38. They were very inexpensive, and cheap firearms. We used to joke that RGI stood for Rotten Gun Incorporated.

Later, when I went to work for Pinkertons for a short time, I was horrified to see that they issued RGI .38s to the supervisors. A revolver that had it's barrel, and cylinder chambers sleeved really disturbed me, and I would definitely not want to fire it.

I haven't worked for them since 1980, and that was only for a short while, but yes, they are still around. http://www.securitas.com/pinkerton/en/
