Cobray Model DD Derringer Kit – .410/.45LC Side-by-Side – 80% Build Kit

This is a Cobray Model DD Derringer Kit, a rare and collectible 80% complete kit designed for those who enjoy building their own firearms. Chambered in .410 shotgun and .45 Long Colt, this side-by-side, break-action derringer is compact, powerful, and unlike anything produced today.

Originally sold during the 1980s-1990s, these kits were offered by Cobray as a hands-on DIY project.

Perfect for a hobbyist, machinist, or collector interested in preserving a piece of American firearm history.

🏛️ A Brief History of Cobray and the Model DD:

The Cobray Company, operating primarily in the 1980s and 1990s, was one of the most unconventional and recognizable names in the American firearms industry. Based in Georgia, Cobray became infamous for producing civilian-legal versions of military-style weapons, including the MAC-11 clones, Street Sweeper shotgun, and a variety of other low-cost, rugged firearms that prioritized simplicity and function over refinement.

While Cobray’s better-known firearms were semi-automatic pistols and shotguns, they also explored the DIY market, offering kits like the Model DD derringer. The DD was part of their effort to provide inexpensive, easily built guns that could serve as survival tools, conversation pieces, or unique additions to any collection.

The Model DD, in particular, stands out for its side-by-side double-barrel configuration, which is relatively uncommon in the derringer world. Chambered in the versatile .410/.45LC, it offered real firepower in a compact frame — making it just as much a survival pistol as it was a collector’s item.

Today, both Cobray firearms and kits are sought after by collectors for their quirky designs, historical significance, and outlaw reputation in American gun culture. The Model DD is a particularly rare find, especially in unassembled kit form.

📦 Shipping: Ships straight to your door. No FFL required – this is not a complete firearm. Buyer is responsible for knowing and complying with local/state laws.
