The compact, no-frills revolver market fills a niche for collectors, budget shooters, and those who appreciate simple mechanical designs. Short-barrel .22 LR wheelguns can serve as display pieces, practice tools, or backup firearms for owners who understand their limits and maintenance needs.

RG INDUSTRY RG23 is a double-action, 6-shot .22 LR revolver with a 1.75″ barrel and blued finish. This particular example is listed as used in fair condition: mechanical function works in both single and double action with a smooth trigger pull, original grips, and normal cosmetic wear.

Key features and what they mean

The RG INDUSTRY RG23’s .22 LR chambering makes it an economical option for dry-fire practice and low-recoil shooting. The 6-shot cylinder gives a standard capacity for small revolvers, while the 1.75″ barrel prioritizes concealability and compactness over long-range accuracy or high muzzle velocity. The blued finish is typical for budget wheelguns and will show wear consistent with the listed fair condition; the original grips add collector value for those preserving factory components.

Functionally, the revolver is described as operating correctly in both single- and double-action modes with a smooth trigger pull, which is notable in a budget-grade firearm where trigger quality can vary. Pricing at $199.99 positions this piece as an affordable acquisition for someone experienced in maintaining older revolvers or building a themed collection. Shop this product

Practical uses and buyer considerations

Collectors will appreciate the RG INDUSTRY RG23 as a utilitarian display piece or a shooter that won’t break the bank. For owners considering this revolver as a working firearm, inspect cylinder lockup, timing, and extractors—standard checks for an older, used handgun. Given its small frame and .22 LR caliber, expect light recoil and limited stopping power; this model is best suited for training, casual plinking, or as a historical/novelty piece in a collection.

Maintenance and safety

Routine cleaning, inspection by a qualified gunsmith if any question of timing or headspace exists, and adherence to safe storage practices are essential. If you plan to carry or rely on any older firearm for defense, have it evaluated and maintained professionally.

For a budget-friendly entry into vintage-style wheelguns or a practical display addition, the RG INDUSTRY RG23 offers clear specs: .22 LR caliber, 6-shot cylinder, 1.75″ barrel, blued finish, and a used, fair-condition price of $199.99.
