 '''RG Industries''' (often known simply as "'''RG'''") was the United States division of [[Röhm Gesellschaft]], a German firearms manufacturer, who itself was meant to be a diversification for German tool manufacturer RÖHM GmbH to enter the gun industry. Both companies specialized in cheaply-made "Saturday night special" type guns.
 Many firearms made by RG are notorious for their ''especially'' poor quality and reliability, even among ''already'' cheaply made "Saturday night specials" such as those made by the [[Ring of Fire (Guns)|"Ring of Fire" manufacturers]] in the United States. One example is the [[RG Model 26]], which has been known to be a particularly poor and unsafe design. It is capable of firing by merely by chambering a round without pulling the trigger!
 On the other hand, models such as the [[RG Model 14|RG-14]] have a slightly better reputation for quality and reliability, even if they too are not ''particularly'' well-made among the RG product lineup.

	RG Industries was established in response to the [[Gun Control Act of 1968]], which imposed new restrictions on the importation of already completed "pot metal" firearms. RG Industries was headquartered in Miami, Florida. They would receive parts from their German counterpart, assemble them, and sell them within the United States market.
