Not safe, doesn’t fire at will.
I’m gunna sell mine. Definitely not worth it.

Very pleased with the Derringer I order! Arrived sooner than expected.

Safety spring broke the first time I tried to push it. Trigger pull has got to be 50 lbs. I would not recommend it. James Shell

I love this little derringer, compact, very nice. I've alway's wanted one of these and the price is great!.

Pleasantly surprised by the buying process and speed of shipping. They made it very easy to navigate the purchase and get it shipped to a qualified gun shop here in town. The product itself has some issues though. I inspected upon reciept and everything looked great. Exactly what I wanted, however, a week later upong taking it out to fire, I had issues. I own the exact same gun in a different color so I was familiar. However, the first thing I did was push the safety button over to fireing position and heard a small ping and it was completly stuck from that point on. Upon further inspection a spring had sprung out of place (super tiny) and lodged in between the safety and the hammer. While I was able to remove the spring, the saftey (of course) came out and the gun is no longer usable. Not sure if it ever was. Not sure what to do at this point as Ive spent the money....but on what is now a paperweight.

Nice gun I love it and super small with fast budsgunshop shipping you guys are the best ..

Was surprised at the good quality at such a low price. Fit and finish is very good, function is as expected. Am excited to have such a nice addition to my collection. Delivery was quick, and easy to track through Bud's website.

Broke before I even put the first shot through it. Loaded two round in it and pulled the hammer back and now the trigger won't release the hammer. Absolutely the worst firearm I have ever purchased.

I order this pistol on Sunday and it was in my hands on Wednesday. Awesome service. I have a few cobras and I like them with no issues. This particular pistol has a trigger pull so hard I have to use both hands to make it go bang. Very much a disappointment. I might have to call the manufacture and see what they can do.

First of all, let's be clear about what this firearm is. It is an antique, novelty of a thing that is not designed with safety, reliability, or practicality in mind, and I strongly recommend not considering this for any form of personal defense. The trigger's anti-leverage design is such that sometimes I couldn't even pull the trigger regardless of how loud I grunted or how hard I would grind my teeth. After taking the gun apart and polishing the matting surfaces on the trigger and hammer (twice), I finally got it to the point where I could always get the trigger pulled. In the manual, they repeatedly warn you in big bold letters not the dry fire this gun, and I soon learned why. Basically, I've broken this gun in three different ways by accidentally letting the hammer fall on an empty chamber. First, the firing pin selector broke off where in mounts in the hammer, so I had to replace that. Then, where the hammer hit the safety, a slope was dented into the safety such that if the hammer ever fell on the safety again, it would kick the safety off track and cause the spring and ball that retains it to also fall out. So I had to replace the safety. Then the firing pins dented the rims of the chamber, which I believe is causing the light strikes that I started experiencing. Then there is the issue of the this gun's overall safety, which is bad enough that I would honestly recommend that only an experienced, knowledgeable gun owner ever handle this gun while loaded. First, this is a positive firing pin, so NEVER carry it with the hammer down on a live round. With that in mind, always carry the hammer in the half-cocked position, but make sure it's in the actual half-cocked position. One other dangerous thing about this gun is that there is a false-set between the half and fully cocked position that can fool you into thinking that it's half cocked when it's not. This occurs if you lower the hammer while releasing the trigger at just the right time, and you'll end up with the hammer resting on the trigger, while sort of looking like it's in the half-cocked position, but it hasn't reached that point yet. At this point, you can still pull the trigger and the hammer will drop. This is very dangerous if you intend to carry this half-cocked with the safety off. So, in conclusion, this is a dangerous, cheaply made, unreliable gun that I think I'm actually going to keep just for laughs, and to show my friends as an example of what not to buy. It is a novelty, but a dangerous one that may very well end up with the hammer dropping when you don't expect it to. All the parts are made of cheap, pot-metal which have a tendency to break if the gun is ever dry-fired by accident, and the metal of the barrel is soft enough that the firing pins dented the rim noticeably, which I think is causing the frequent misfires due to there no longer being a good pinching effect on the rounds between the pin and the rim of the barrel. I do, however, have to give credit to the good customer service I experienced when trying to resolve the misfire issues. They have a lifetime warranty, and I asked if they could sent me some replacement pins to see if that would maybe fix my misfire issues. They did send some, but unfortunately that didn't fix the problem, and I think I would probably need a new barrel to fix that, but why bother if it'll just get dented again. This little thing isn't worth spending any more money on, shipping or otherwise. If you still want to get one of these standard frame Cobras after all of my bad-talk about them, I would suggest trying one of the centerfire versions. Maybe you'll have better luck with that. Just don't dry fire it! Ever!
