Cheap
by: Bob
I Did not know much about pistols until I bought that one. I just went in the store and bought the cheapest smallest 380 they had. Boy did I get what I paid for. Not only was it heavy for it size it was hard to cock and jammed when I shot it.

This gun is unbelievingly underrated. I own the cobra .380 and personally it 1 of my favorites, never jammed on me just had a couple feed problems. If you live in a cold stay, and like the outdoors this gun gets really cold.lol Ive had it since feburary of last year and it hasnt jammed once.

Fixes to try if it has "jam" problems
by: Jarhead
The magazine needs the feed lips adjusted. Yes they will either have a fail to eject or fail to feed. If the feed lips on the mag are adjusted either in or out it helps a lot. Also load the mag fully & let it sit for a couple weeks loaded to weaken the spring pressure a little bit. Polish the feedramp this will help also. That way the nose of the bullet will not have anything to hang on when it cycles.Keep the mags lightly oiled and last but not least, After loading the mag try these two(2) things. Load the mag 1 round shy of being fully loaded and after loading the mag take it and lightly slap the back of the magazine against the palm of your hand to seat the shells. This will keep them from being nose down slightly after loading. Try these fixes and your troubles will most likely go away.

Not good
by: rod9894
I agree with Axis. Right out of the box, this thing jammed. On the first try, I got one shot out of it but the rest jammed like crazy on every shot after that. I tried a new magazine, cleaned and oiled it and tried again at the range. Same problem. This is no good.

Corbra FS 380
by: Tank
The Cobra FS 380 is an excellent gun for the money, a little on the heavy side but I would rather know that I have something in my hand thats not a toy.
I have never had a problem with mine, I would look at your maintenance schedule.

Cobra 380 FS38
by: wampom
This Axis Person obviously does know alot about this Model though he or she may own one.I own one and it works great for me chances are if it is jamming alot on them its probably due to poor maintenance of the fire arm.I think you will find that poor maintenance will make any Model Pistol be it a Magnum a Beretta a Bersa or a Cobra.I would be sure that you are mainting your fire arm Properly be for you bash it and call it a rip off..

Constantly jams
by: Axis
This gun Jams so much its not even funny. In the description it says it would be a great concealed carry gun. It is small and compact but You would be cazy to rely on it, but I guess if it Jammed, with how extremely heavy it it you could hit your attacker with it.
The company does not recommend hollow points in there guns due to the "feeding" problems.
Its really not a bad paper weight though
