Gentlemen, gentleman!

We must not allow the pedantic semantics of language distract us from our common foe, the dreaded werewolf/chupacabra/robot/lizardman.

I have been considering the manner further and think that the davis/cobra ca series in 32cp has excellent uses in the war to come. Small, concealable, significantly less likely to explode than its 380 twin brother.

Historicaly it has come in a wide variety of finishes including bumper chrome. Nothing instills fear in the mind of a foe and steadys the heart of its user quite like bumper chrome, the definitive mark of quality.

Brother bunthum,

I know you have mentioned less then favorable thoughts on this little pistol. If you would care to expand on the issue I for one would like to hear more.

If others have experience good or bad (and I'm guessing mostly bad here) about this little gem, please sound off!

Mr. Chairman... may I have order in the chamber?

It's my considered opinion that the issues with the Davis P32/Cobra CA32 are most closely associated with the Davis production guns. Verily, I am no expert in the application of such arms, though it can be said that I am a collector of foul thoughts from across the length and breadth of the internet and boomerdom. I cannot, in good faith, put forward that they be a reliable source of succor to those in need, nor do I propound to suggest that they may not yet be more a deterrent than might a sharpened stick, or pointed brick. I yield the remainder of my time to the chair.

That said, I really haven't heard much in the way of criticism of the Cobra CA32, if I could find one at a reasonable price I would buy it. I've seen the 380 pistols around from time to time, but I completely lack confidence in repeatedly firing 380 out of a pistol that was essentially designed around 32. To me that would be like shooting my 40 S&W Kel-Tec P11... it just beats everything up.

As to the Davis guns, the major thing I hear is extraction/ejection issues and, later in life, cracked slides and sometimes frames. Extraction is a huge deal and it's the 20+ year battle I've had with my Jennings J22. A blowback firearm should not have so many extraction and ejection related issues, many of the original blowback designs had no extractors and some lack extractors to this day. In a ZAMAK gun, 32 ACP and up, I can forgive things like slide and frame cracks eventually forming, but more or less new firearms should never develop extraction/ejection problems... either the design is bad, which seems less likely, or the QC and tolerancing are poor. That's just my two cents.

At one point (when i was young and stupid, instead of old and semi-senile, i had a "bumper chrome" RG63. That thing was about as safe as wearing porkchop underwear while kicking a Bengal tiger in the nuts. The only thing i liked about it was that it LOOKED and loaded like a single action revolver, but was really double action. Wouldn't mind finding something like that again, just not one that has a stroke when you shoot it. DEFINITELY DON'T use +Ps in them, or your ejector shroud will do more damage than the bullet that it fires.

Sir, there is nothing "nonsense, jibberish, or claptrap" in this conversation regarding the post-ferrous/aluminum eating nanobot werewolf apocalypse. I'd challenge you to fisticuffs were I not a gentleman of high breeding.

Breeding? Breeding with what? And mind your tone, kid. I'm a Chef. I know my way around sharp knives and will not hesitate to conduct a carving lesson on any nanobutt wherewoof should the need arise.

Is it worth mentioning that there’s no letter “b” at the end of BUMTHUM?

Edited to fix the obvious error...

Most likely not.
