SIG P238

[PegLeg45]

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!

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.
