Under $200, not so much, but these days there are very few guns even close to that price range. Derringers have always had a particular BUY ME appeal for me. A Davis derringer was my first daily carry gun, and it is tough to walk into a gunshop these days without running into at least one <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/cobra-enterprises-derringer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cheap-guns-cobra-derringer-pocket-power-budget\" title=\"Cheap Guns: The Cobra Derringer - Pocket Power on a Budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cobra brand derringer<\/a>. They are generally well under $200, though I see them online a lot for upwards of $250 in custom finishes. Do they work? Do they keep working? Are they safe to carry? In generally, my answer to those questions is yes, but watch the video, because I did find some unexpected hiccups in one of the guns.<\/p>\n<p>I feel like the derringer option is outside of most concealed carry discussions. This is of course GunsAmerica, so most of you will prioritize your carry budget higher than <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/cobra-derringer-22-magnum\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cheap-guns-cobra-derringer-pocket-power-budget\" title=\"Cheap Guns: The Cobra Derringer - Pocket Power on a Budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Cobra derringer<\/a>. The point of this article is for when a friend who works at Starbucks asks you how cheap they can carry. Do you answer $300-$500 for a Taurus revolver? $250 for a Kel-Tec? Or do you answer just over $100 for a Cobra derringer? Here is a pretty good list of pros and cons, starting with the cons lol.<\/p>\n<p>Cons:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>There is not much barrel at all beyond the cartridge, so though I didn&#8217;t chronograph this gun at all, I&#8217;m sure there is a significant hit on velocity.<\/li>\n<li>What barrel exists has very shallow rifling, so the bullet is prone to tumble.<\/li>\n<li>Derringers never hit to point of aim, so beyond a face to face encounter, you are required to **not aim** at your target by a great deal (see the video).<\/li>\n<li>You have only two rounds.<\/li>\n<li>Each has to be cocked.<\/li>\n<li>Reloads are cumbersome, almost irrelevant.<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s a cheap gun, so even the best ones can be buggy, and will eventually break.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Pros:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A Cobra derringer is about as cheap as you can get into concealed carry with a gun that reliably works.<\/li>\n<li>You are buying a new gun, not an old gun that is probably someone else&#8217;s problem gun.<\/li>\n<li>They don&#8217;t pull down your pants wearing shorts.<\/li>\n<li>If you carry the gun in half-cock like I showed in the video, in some ways having to cock the gun is a plus. You are not so far away from firing that you have to rack a slide, but you don&#8217;t have to be as aware of trigger protection or a manual safety as you would with a gun that is 100% read to fire.<\/li>\n<li>If my kid dumps a bucket of sandy, salt water on it at the beach, I&#8217;m not going to feel like my daily carry gun is eroding out from under me no matter how well I clean it.<\/li>\n<li>For me the Cobra derringer points and fires naturally. I can shoot it quickly with one hand as well as slowly with two hands.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>For those of you in the choir here, if you don&#8217;t already own a Cobra derringer, I&#8217;m sure you have considered one. They really do scream out BUY ME, even if purely from a historical curiosity. There are real, robust personal carry options in a derringer, from Bond Arms these days, but those cost as much as a real gun. My personal carry gun is the original <a href=\"https:\/\/gunsamerica.com\/xd-mod-2-45\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"clickTracking\" campaign=\"cheap-guns-cobra-derringer-pocket-power-budget\" title=\"Cheap Guns: The Cobra Derringer - Pocket Power on a Budget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Springfield XD-S<\/a> in .45 ACP, post factory recall mod. For many years I carried a S&amp;W revolver, and I&#8217;ve also carried a Para-Ordnance P-10, a Beretta PX4 Subcompact, and for a while after Hurricane Wilma I tried a full time belt gun in a full sized Para P-14 LDA.<\/p>\n<p>But I said in the video, my first long term daily carry gun was a Davis derringer in .32ACP, which is the same gun as the Cobra. If I remember, Cobra originally bought the toolworks of the Davis company, though I have no idea whether the guns are made on that same equipment today. More importantly, as I explained in the video, there is a lifetime warranty on Cobra firearms. If you ask your local gun dealer candidly how many of them come back, they will tell you that a certain percentage have issues. In my experience, most of those issues are from repeated dry firing, and you don&#8217;t want to dry fire these guns *AT ALL* because it work hardens the firing pin. That is double true for the rimfires, any rimfire for that matter.<\/p>\n<p>One of the two guns I purchased had occasional failures to fire. It was the rimfire, and in my experience, it is almost always the rimfire that will give you trouble first. In a Cobra derringer, I would stick to the centerfire options. I can hit a pie plate reliably at across the bedroom distances with the .38 you see here, even though I have to aim a foot plus low. Oh well. That&#8217;s a cheap gun. Just remember the Cobra derringer option when your friend who works at Starbucks asks how cheap they can get into concealed carry. And don&#8217;t be afraid to buy one for yourself. I&#8217;m in Key West this weekend, and my XD-S pulls down my shorts, so guess what&#8217;s in my pocket?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The point of this article is for when a friend who works at Starbucks asks you how cheap they can carry.
