guyz, I bought a cobra blue 38 derringer.

I listened to reason on this one(asw in I gave up the 44 notion and so-on):

before you pass judgement understand I got a brand new 38 derringer for 100something bucks!!

He said he thought it was stainless steel even though it is a blue color and we couldn't find the info in the manual. It is small and I will try to post pix later tonight. It was the same derringer I passed on when I bought my S&W 649 snubby a few months ago. I could Not bring myself to buy just plain sammy spec or whatever leadnose(target rounds//if sammy spec is something different forgive me). I bought remington 158 grain LHP +P 38's for it but am going to fire it 4 times and just have it trouser hug most of the time. the guy I spoke with- I searched him out because he is an ammo king- said the round is fine for this derringer. the hot load wont effect the gun(I am assuming unless I put it thru the ringer) but it might kick me a little. I believe him. this round is an old CIA, FBI round too way 'back in the day'. I gotta to have something with some stopping power in it if I do ever need it! It was hard enough buying the 38. I am glad I crossed that bridge though- now I can start buying more 38 and 357 ammo for my four handguns. the hammer cocks half way or all the way also. the safety can be put into effect after the hammer is cocked but I will probably just cock it as needed. I like this derringer and I saved a few bucks bigtime. I have wanted a derringer for a long time. it is a great NY reload and very concealable. maybe I can get my wife to carry this one as she doesnt the 649 or my other snubby as of yet
