Trigger Pull: The trigger pull on the RG-59 in single action is very light with virtually no take-up at all. It has a medium to heavy, yet smooth double-action trigger.

Accuracy: NA.

Build Quality: The overall build quality for the ROHM RG-59 blank gun is excellent. Being German made it's built to last and the fit and finish is very good. There are steel parts where they need to be like in the barrel, pins, screws, and reinforcing parts, the rest of the gun is generally made out of zinc metal with only the grips being plastic. 

Realism: The ROHM RG-59 is not an exact replica of any given gun in production as this would make importing it into Canada even more difficult, but it does share similarities with some real guns in production. It has that Smith & Wesson Snub-Nosed Revolver look to it. As for looking like and working as a real gun, it does this very well, with the exception of the dangerous bullet coming out of the barrel!

Pros:

• German-made quality, materials fit, and finish is all excellent
• Almost all metal with some reinforced steel parts
• Nice light single-action trigger with double actionability when needed
• Front-firing with semi-plugged barrel
• Come with the gun case, flare adaptor, and cleaning rod
• Seems to be some of the only blank guns we can get here in Canada right now

Cons:

• Not actual exact replicas of any specific gun in production
• Only works with the .380 crimped rounds
• Expensive due to it being harder to get and in high demand in Canada

Comments: As with pretty much all blank guns, this gun is mostly for the show so it all comes down to how does it look and does it go bang when it's supposed to! The RG-59 revolver feels solid and the mechanical parts are tight and smooth, giving a confident feeling in the hand. I like the larger caliber blanks over the .22 crimped blanks as they have a bigger bang, but they will set you back in the cost department a bit more as the price for .380 blanks will be a lot more, so keep this in mind when choosing a blank gun. If you're looking for a well-made and dependable blank pistol then you really cannot go wrong with any of the ROHM blank guns.
