This is my review of the Fab Defense Cobra collapsible stock for Glock pistols:
Unique, well designed, but with two fatal flaws that make it pretty Much WORTHLESS: Very Sloppy play ( like $2 toy slop) and NO customer support from Fab Defense.
background: I bought it "new" on ebay, however it is really used, i found out when i contacted the seller about the HUGE sideways slop when attached to a G17. The seller assured me, and I believe him, that he got it new and used it in a video, shooting it, once before selling it.
So, I told him that makes it a used item and he still disagrees. Not withstanding our disagreement, a $100 + item for a firearm SHOULD not come with or develop such nasty slop unless it is made of inferior crap material and/or made with an inferior crap manufacturing process.
But I'll let the reader be the judge: It comes with 4 adapters for various Glock models. The previous owner says the #2 for the G17 is the one he used for his video. Frankly I cannot differentiate any of them because I've never found any distinguishing numbers or marks on any. But anyway, #2 is pig sloppy when installed and deployed, wobbling like a $2 toy stock. Another one has about half as much play and the remaining unidentified 2 adapters are very tight.
The slop is where the adapter latches out. All are very tight tolerance at the hinge faces. I determined that the slop comes from the pin that has a poor or bad seat in the bottom of the adapter due to a poorly formed pocket for the pin or a worn one, IDK which, but NEITHER reason is acceptable. The seller said it was like that when he took it out of the package, but then, we never ascertained that we are actually talking about the same play issue. He said the play is between the Glock and the attachment that slips inside the Glock grip, however, that was tight when I tried it.
And then the kick in the pants is that I have written Fab defense about this twice and they don't respond.
