johnchI hope you are talking about the polimor(spelling) framed double action ,not the zink single action junk.
I have shot a 9 and a 380.
They worked and shot OK , but not as well as my Kel Tec P-11

FlippySorry I missed this thread initially.
Stay away from COBRA firearms, especially the 45 autoloaders.
The company used to be "Davis" and they aren't very reliable.
Their derringers are acceptable for the price, but everything else is absolutely terrible.
I sold about 10 of the autoloading 9mm's when they first "came out" and had 6-7 come back broken. Have not ordered or sold any since.
I owned the first COBRA that came in to the store for about two weeks. I traded it for a KelTec P11 (because the Cobra was a little bigger) and shot several other Kel-Tec's and they are MUCH better than the COBRA'S.
Also pretty accurate for the size and relative lack of sights.

Swede44magMy cousin had a Davis derringer in 22cal we shot it at an old refrigerator on his property. It bounced off at about 30ft while my K22 shot through both sides using the same brand of ammo at the same distance. I was very disappointed to say the least I wanted a 22 derringer so bad.
Remember that you get what you pay for especially when it is too cheap.
