btw it doesnt matter if they are still around or not..there always can be a case.. but i found when talon went under as you guys know davis took over then they went under but what i found out is that Cobra industries took over... that is what i found and i was told..idk anyone else found that??

Ouch! Glad you are healing up. I'm also glad this hasn't caused you to give up shooting.

Looking at the barrel and chamber, it doesn't look like a squib to me. No bulging or other damage that I can see. Looks to me like a crappy slide.

 

[melissam]

thank you for putting them on here for me..

 

[melissam]

ill try to put up a picture after i come back from getting my top stitches out tomorrow..no i havent giving up im just staying away from ones that have a slide on them just for a little bit..do you blame me....

Well, if you're almost killed in a Dodge Neon would you swear off cars all together and drive nothing but trucks, or would you buy a better car?

Shame to pass up an oppertunity to drive a Cadillac like a 1911 because your Neon almost did you in...

Well, if I'd had my lip eviscerated like that, I would be leery, too. The Talon isn't a Neon, it's not even a Yugo. It's a dangerous, poorly-designed product. Neither the Neon nor Yugo explode when they are started up using normal gasoline under normal conditions.

Just glad you are OK Melissa. If you are thinking about suing maybe you should get legal advice about how to handle posts on the internet.

To be clear I am not implying that you are doing anything wrong, just that your attorney should guide you about every facet of this unfortunate incident.

wow.... thanks for the heads up Melissa and good luck on any surgery you have.

Anybody know if Cobra is marketing the same or a similarly built gun under their name? I certainly want to be sure to stay away from it if it exists.

Have you spoken to the plastic surgeon about the possibility of keloid scars developing and how to deal with them? If not, it might be a good time to do so.

I think there are a few folks confused about the post I added. The one I posted was another person (in this case a guy) who may have used handloaded ammo. However, same gun, same result.

Two different posts about the same model of gun.

Welcome Melissa, sorry about all the confusion.
