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.
