Cobra Firearms

[Gombey]

I did a quick forum search, and a google search. The only info I could find was from the highpoint forum, nuff said.

So I've decided to seek the sage advice from the more experienced steel (and plastic LOL) wieldiers on this forum.

Have any of you heard or had any experience with cobra firearms? A friend of mine owns a Cobra FS380.

I know the old adage is it's better than a rock, but if this thing is going to blow up in his hand when he needs it.....
He plans to buy a new gun in December but if the gun is a piece of crap I'll put off getting my pocket gun and help him get something better to protect his family.

Soooo, that's my long drawn out question. Thanks for reading it and for any help.

Oh and as a post script, we are going to the range today so he can shoot it for the first time.

at least with a rock there are no unrealistic expectations.

If all I could afford was a $100 gun then I would probably buy a Hi-Point.

I think most people could find a way to save up $50 a month and in a year they would have enough to buy a really nice gun.

A friend of Mine Had One A while Back It would Not shoot With out a Stove pipe every other round ..I would save Your Money and get Something else, Hit the Pawn shops In your area.You could Find great deals .Or Just go Put the Money you Have Down on a Gun and Pay some Every Paycheck .

I would even suggest him to buy a Makarov or a CZ 82. FM High Power are around the same price range as well and it is very reliable. Summitgunbroker.com has good deals often as well.

Most of the time when I write LOL I didn't "really" LOL. That one I did.

You can get a police trade in Glock for under $300 if you know where to look, and refinishing them is fairly simple. I ran across a few when I was checking prices on my second Gen4 gun. (and 3rd. Going to buy two.)

WOW!!!! What a piece of GARBAGE!!!! I just shot it, FTF two times in a row within the first three rounds. Final round was a stovepipe. He said he didn't have any of those issues.

I was trying to find a nice way to tell him it was a piece of junk but luckily the guy at the shop was kind enough to tell him for me.

On another note, the worker said lorcin and cobra are made by the same company.

So yah, we are going to get him into a Glock or something like that. We start shopping next week

For $250 you can find police-trade in S&W Models 10 and 64 in excellent working condition.

I would much, MUCH rather carry a quality six shooter than some piece of shit just to say I have a semi auto.

For $250 if you shop around you can even find a Sigma...nothing to write home about, but it will probably work.
