Trigger Mechanism

The ROHM RG-300 features a double-action-only trigger mechanism that is somewhat heavy, requiring a firm grip and a consistent, long pull to fire. It takes a few shots to get accustomed to it. If you do not fully pull the trigger until the hammer releases, the shot will not fire, but the blank will index and advance to the next round, potentially leaving an unfired blank when you remove the magazine.

Construction Quality

The construction quality of the ROHM RG-300 is excellent, as expected from German engineering. It is designed to last, with a high-quality fit and finish. The only significant plastic component is the grip. During testing, the gun performed flawlessly, aside from the heavy double-action trigger pull, which is necessary to both index the magazine and fire the round.

Authenticity

The ROHM RG-300 is not an exact replica of any specific production gun, which facilitates its import into Canada. However, it does resemble a smaller version of a Sig Sauer in terms of appearance.

Pros:

• Superior German craftsmanship with excellent materials, fit, and finish.
• Predominantly metal construction with some reinforced steel parts.
• Safe double-action trigger, reducing the risk of accidental misfires.
• Front firing mechanism.
• Comes with a flare adapter and cleaning rods.
• Importable into Canada.

Cons:

• Not an exact replica of any specific production gun.
• The double-action trigger pull is somewhat challenging and requires adjustment.
• Higher price due to limited availability and high demand in Canada.

Additional Notes

One advantage of the .22 caliber blank shooters is their lower cost, as .22 caliber crimped blanks are more affordable compared to 8mm, 9mm P.A.K., or .380 crimped blanks. While they are quieter, they are still louder than expected, especially from a short barrel. The compact size of this gun makes it ideal for carrying on hikes or outings as a deterrent against wildlife. The RG-300 is a noteworthy addition to ROHM's line of blank guns.
