Do any of you have any experience with one of these?  On the site it describes the frame size as "Small J Frame."  It looks like a S&W, but how is the quality and will holsters, grips, etc. interchange?  I have seen them at gun shows, but haven't picked one up to closely examine one.  I have a S&W model 642, and I have to admit that it is pretty close.  Just wondering what all of you knowledgeable guys know about it.

Thanks

I havent handled the revolvers.  I have a little experience with their deringers.....which sucked.  Google didn't bring up any good news on them.

I wonder when they'll get the nastygram from S&W's attorneys for calling their gun a J-Frame.

I clicked on the web page too,   dead ringer for a J-frame from the right side too

About the same time all the companies making 1911 clones get a nastygram from Colt.

Heck, their autos look like Hi-points or Keltecs.

If the 1911 clone makers were calling their guns "O-Frames" then they would probably get a letter from Colt's attorneys.

I played with them at the NRA Show. They are 100% J-Frame S&W 642 Clones. The folks at Cobra told me that any S&W grip, holsters, etc... will work for their gun. I'd like to crack one open and see the quality the internal parts.



If they're well made they might have a good product on their hands. A no lock S&W J-frame clone.



As for legal issues.... I believe the patent on the design is long gone and if Cobra actually does the correct legal small print BS then they can mention J-Frame all they want.
