Cobra Derringers

[maxcoen]

Any body have one? Looking at picking one up for BUG pocket gun.

You'd be better off with a small .380 as bug gun that this thing, the quality on these aren't that great, the trigger pull is insane, and you only get 2 shots.

Yeh I know I carry an LCP but I thought this might be a good little gun to throw my pocket for SHTF senerio, very close quarters.

You could try an naa revolver, from what I've heard and seen they are great quality.

I carried a Davis Derringer in .38 for quite a while. I shot it enough to find it totally reliable, but it wasn't the most fun thing to shoot..

If you realy want a Derringer get a Bond Arms.

Had a friend with a 9mm one, great idea, didnt find it much fun to shoot.

Got to shoot my buddies .38 spl. derringer on my birthday. Wasn't too much fun, and shooting anything is usually fun. The meat between the thumb and forefinger gets beat up REALLY fast.

Before you buy it, flip open and look at the... I don't know the proper term for it, where the firing pins strike the primer, with the hammer ALL the way down.

One of the firing pins constantly protrudes from here, unless you carry it on half-cock, full cocked wouldn't be too wise, even though it takes 2 fingers to pull the trigger lol.

I had heard that about the firing pin. Do you think you can cock it with one hand reliably? Thanks

I have one in 38spl. its trigger pull is really heavy but i carry it any ways its a cheap gun to leave in the truck when you go to places you can't carry in. Quality isn't too bad there is worse out there, you get what you pay for sometimes. And your supposed to leave the hammer in half-cocked position so the firing pins don't press on the primers. The safety blocks the firing pins so its safe all in all.

I don't know, I only shot 2 rounds out of it. It was a tough little bugger to work.
