ROHM model 66 22MAG pistol
I'm very new in gun ownership, and I recently bought a Rohm model 66, 22MAG revolver at a gun show. I was looking for an affordable but decent 22 revolver to go with my first gun, a 9mm Glock 17 Gen4. I love that one. I'm kinda hoping to hear someone say something good about this gun.
My boy and I took it to the range (the Rohm) and put over 200 rounds through it, and it performed as good as any other 22 revolver I've ever fired. I've done a lot of forum searching to get info on it, and there are a lot of Rohm haters out there. I had a lot of fun shooting it, but after some of the things I read. WOW! Does anyone know anything about my gun?
It is a 6 shooter with a gate to load from, and has an 8 1/2" barrel with plastic grips, and a casing extractor rod. Any info? Hopefully I get some good replies!

Welcome to the board, I posted a reply to the other thread, but I'll post it here also...

I had a Navy buddy who had a Rohm 66 long ago, one of the reasons I wound up getting a Ruger Single 6, a convertible .22 is fun and handy.

Re: ROHM model 66 22MAG pistol
Thank You for the response. That is pretty much what I've read, that the model 66, 22MAG is the only good gun that they ever made. It's just kinda scary when I read so many post's referencing the Rohm as a piece of junk.
Problem now is can I be confident when I use this gun. How safe is it? I did have a lot of fun shooting it, and so did my son. I'll have a qualified gunsmith take a look at it before I use it again.
