Re: [Combat-Handgun] New...questions about Cobra .038

That pistol would make a great, and fun, addition to my arsenal of fly swatters!
Although it may not make a clean kill on the fly and require two or three more
follow-up shots.

Subject: [Combat-Handgun] New...questions about Cobra .038


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

Debbi

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...

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...
