Colt Mustang/Mustang Pocketlite Experiences?
Kevin &/or Corinne Appleton
I'm thinking of buying the Mustang Pocketlite for concealed carry here during the warm months here in VA.
Anyone out there have any words of wisdom or opinions on this 380? TIA.

I'm not sure you'd call it "wisdom", but I have a Mustang Pocketlite.
It's excellent in the RYBKA pocket holster I have, an also in my
"crouch holster", a Thunderbelt. I had SM&A do a PCP (Pocket Carry
Package) on it, and it's a great little gun. FWIW, SM&A in the person
of Mac Scott stops by here, and they have a web site www.380colt.com.

My first handgun was a Colt Mustang in stainless. It was a beautiful gun!
I bought it used, the gun worked flawlessly. No regrets except that I sold
it. I bought a Colt Mustang Pocketlight next. It was a good gun. There
was a noticable difference in weight although it wasn't as nice looking as
the stainless one. I regret selling that one too. Now I carry a Glock 27!
No regrets at all this time... I'm not selling, trading or giving this one
away! JK

I've carried one almost daily for almost 3 years now and it's my
favorite carry gun.
I live and work in So. CA and it gets as hot, if not as humid, but it's
the most confortable gun I carry, whether in shop coat or shorts
(usually both in the summer!)
You'll love it.

The Mustang is a nice & small weapon, I've never shot one.
Does anybody feel the .380 has more/less punch than the
.32 tomcat? Or the .380 just isn't strong enough for
self defence?

# Kevin,
Owned a Colt Mustang a few years back. Apart from a bad cosmetic flaw on the hammer, I found it to be quite a
nice weapon. It was very accurate for its size and easy to carry. Not a bad pocket gun.

Got a mustang plus II and its a very good carry gun. The mustang is a
well made gun . Its got some plastic parts (trigger and springguide) but
you can replace those if you like.
Just be careful with pocket holster selection.
I had some problems with accidental magazine releases. I dont know if
other mustang owners had this problem or its just my gun.
But to sum it all up--- its a great little gun.

The best IWB holster I've found for the Mustang is one from Alessi Holsters,
2465 Niagara Falls Blvd., Amherst, NY 14228-3527, 716-691-5615. $31.95 at a
Houston Gunshow. Good stiff leather with a clip. Damn fine holster.
I ordered a holster from the Mustang from Dillon. I like the Alessi better.

There ain't no vikings here. Just us honest farmers.
The town was burning, the villagers were dead.
They didn't need those sheep anyway.
That's our story and we're sticking to it.
