Cobray .410 Derringer

[SpeedRacer]

So a buddy needed some quick cash and I picked this up off of him for a deal. Are they worth a ****? Not really my typical kind of purchase but it was hard to pass up. Will these handle modern defensive .410 loads such as those designed for the Judge?

I've got the single barrel.

Snake/tackle box gun at best.

Won't shoot 3" shells
Also shoots 45LC

So I shouldn't replace my G19 with it for EDC?

Figured it would be a tackle box gun, just wondering what loads would make it useful.

i had the 11" double barrel. shot almost everything. think i had some old paper type shells that were given to me that it didnt seem to like very much. i got rid of it though, wasnt my first choice for a "toy"

You should replace it. Epoxy a light rail, install an APEX trigger, and bolt an RMR to the top. Youll be set!

Tacklebox gun....

Got her all cleaned up, looked like it hadn't been cleaned in about 20 years. My buddy said one of the barrels only fired about 50% of the time, which I can believe considering the firing pin channel was so full of crud. Pretty neat little gun for a cheap POS.

Placing a pencil inside eraser down, you could test the firing pin's strength if the pencil is moved fairly well.
