Colt Pocketlite 380

Post by 2firfun50 »

Anybody shot one of these? Since the 1911 bug has bitten hard, I'm really interested in this 1911 pocket model. :biggrinjester:

colt mustang .380 was my first HANDgun I ever bought, (just long guns before that) felt great in my hand, looked 1911-ish like a real gun should ... had a good manufacturer ... I read the instruction booklet which said to not carry it loaded or something and that scared me so so I took it back and traded for a Taurus, a new to USA type gun company.

I don't have the pocketlite version, but I do have a blue steel Colt Government .380 (1986 vintage) in 95%-100% condition that I might be willing to part with if the price were right.

I have the older model Mustang Plus II. My husband bought it for me several years ago. It's a great little gun and my current EDC until the holster for my Walther PPS gets here.

Don't do it TAM!!! I have a stainless MK IV Series 80 .380 and the thought to sale it has crossed my mind a time or two. Every time, I have someone tell me how I will regret parting with it until I either die or puchase a replacement. So, I am here to tell you "don't do it"!! :smash:

I have one. Nice little gun that I use to carry occasionally. I only use it for target shooting now days. My only complaint was that it is too small for my hand. I tend to push the safety on when it recoils screwing up my second shot.

I have one, in SS/Alum. It's a neat little gun, just not my taste in caliber. It is surprisingly easy to shoot, but has a pretty long and heavy trigger.
