Well, not quite, but similar. The IJ Pony is larger, for one thing.
And, it came out earlier than did the Colt Mustang. By one year.

One thing's sure...IJ didn't copy Colt! <g>

Not the same gun. Almost identical in size, and use the same magazine. The
Pony is a DAO with no safety (other than the ones between our ears). I've
owned both, and preferred the Mustang.

Pony double action
Mustang single action
Education is the best safety device there is.

One is a single action, the other is double action.

Keth,

What is your opinion on IJ Pony? Is it a gun worth having? I am especially
interested in reliability.

Thanks,

Alex.

Hi Alex,

I am not qualified to discuss reliabililty in the IJ Pony.

If I were to set out to buy a reliable gun, I don't think I'd buy an Iver Johnson,
but that's just me.
I have never had one and cannot judge something I've never owned or shot, or for
that matter, had in the shop for repair.
