How to Remove the Handle on a Cobra Derringer

The derringer is a well-known small handgun that fires two bullets in a breech-style barrel. This weapon was originally designed by small arms maker Henry Derringer during the 19th century. These pistols were used for concealed carry, typically worn in a boot holster or shirt pocket during pioneer times. Cobra Arms manufactures the derringer pistol in several calibers, the most common being .32 caliber. Factory handle grips for the Cobra derringer can be removed and replaced with other fitting grips if desired.
