Cobra Firearms, also known as Cobra Arms and officially as Cobra Enterprises of Utah, Inc. was an American firearms manufacturer based in Salt Lake City, Utah.

Cobra Firearms was distantly related to the "Ring of Fire" companies of inexpensive firearms makers [1][2] and may have been a reincarnation of Raven Arms[3] and possibly Davis Industries.[4]

Cobra Arms produced inexpensive handguns. Many firearms manufactured by Cobra Arms were constructed of injection-molded Zamak, a zinc alloy.
