For you 380 fans out there, I thought you might be interested in this. According to the retailer, it will also use Colt Mustang magazines.

I was disappointed that they modeled the fire control of the P238 after the 1911 rather than the rest of the Sig family.
This is a deal breaker for me.

What happened to the cool looking aluminum grips?
I was unaware of the 1911 fire control, don't think that matters. The $600 MSRP is a choker for a .380 though. I still want one, but may go for the Sig 1911 Blackwater instead as a collector's piece. When I find another job, that is.

Updated it. I'd add FQ but apparently he has money to burn on old soviet trash.

That's a nice looking gun! Just like a tiny little baby Sig.

Here is an interesting thread with pics:

Thats why I had to stop coming to this site for a while while I was laid off...... Good luck on the job hunt, Path.
Back on topic. I saw a bunch of those at the gun shows. $600 for a .380 is a definite put off. Cool lookin little buggers though... Especially with aluminum grips....

The Colt Mustang WAS a miniature 1911 in .380 ACP. The Sig is just a real expensive copy of the Mustang with a little Siggy look to it.
I'll take the original anyday. The Sig, not so much unless of course someone needs me to test one for ten or twenty years! ;D

Once the Sig is on the market for a while, you may see a price drop in those mustangs

Colt actually had two different sizes in the 1911 .380 pistols.
One (what I have) is called the Colt Ser.80 Gov't Model .380 and is about half the size of a standard 1911 and holds 7 rounds.
The Mustang is even smaller and holds one less round than the Gov't, kinda like a 'Commander' version in .380.
The $600 tag for the Sig is an eye-popper....makes me happy about the $200 I paid for the Colt....(of course that was a ways back).

Don't forget the Colt Pony. I have the slightly larger Colt Pocket 9. I prefer the double action trigger for a pocket gun.

Fondled one at the gun show Sun. It's verry nice. A little harder to carry inside of a pocket, like my Kel-Tec, but a sweet pistol.
The price at the show was $575.00.
extra mags cost way more than Kel-Tec, but are about the same as PPK/S.
The thought I have is:
Gun makers are jumping on the .380 ammo train, but the ammo is scarce, and even more expensive than .45Colt. ???
Speer GDHP .380 20rds. $32.00.
Mag-tech target 50 rds. $27.00
Winchester 225gr. 45Colt LRP, 20rds. $27.00
Magtech Cowboy 45Colt, 50 rds. $$25.00
:-\

I would rather have 45colt any day. As for .380 i haven't seen any for about 6 months now. I have a model 84fs and bersa thunder .380 that haven't been shot for at least a year. No ammo means i have some very cool looking paper wieghts.
