I took a concealed weapons permit class and I am looking at purchasing
a handgun that is light, small and not terribly expensive.
I found a Cobra .038 for $139 locally, and was curious if anyone knows
anything about these guns. I would really welcome any input.
I am a gal who wants to learn. I am brand new to this group, so go
easy on me. I don't know much about guns. I have shot both rifles and
pistols, and I am a good shot with a target, but I don't know much of
the lingo that goes with guns. I may sound really stupid at first,
because of my lack of knowledge...please be patient. lol

Hey Everyone, Here a young lady asks a question to the group and all of a sudden all of these answers come flying out... There have been good answers and bad...
lol Yes, I am still scratching my head over what a DA/SA style is. lol I know most of the other stuff he was talking about, but that one has me stumped. I...
A DA/SA pistol, Debbi, is one that has a double action trigger pull for the first shot, than a single action trigger pull after that. The Beretta M92 is a good...
So I am probably wanting a DA, that cocks automatically, rather than having to manually cock the gun each time I fire...right? Debbi ... -- Come see the...
Well, a single action automatic pistol is one that you have to have the hammer cocked before pulling the trigger. The firing of the pistol will re-cock the...
Debbi, You can't go wrong with a Smith & Wesson, a Snub Nose Colt 38 nor a Ruger revolver... Wheel guns are some of the safest and most reliable to carry.. I...
For concealed carry, my preference would be a Glock 19, simple, no bells and whistles, straight to the point and lots of rounds than a revolver. At home...
Yes a shotgun would do the job at home...but I am thinking more of out and about. Here in Utah we had that mall shooting, where one woman laid in her blood and...
