Some don't have that problem.īack when the 380 was the only thing going in a small semi-auto pistol above 32 caliber I owned a carried a bunch of them. And it's hard for me to take the safety off with just two finger grip. I also gave up SA pistols for pocket carry after the safety being knocked off a few times. They hit POA and function, and one of the two with me at all times. They might see 150-200 between the two this year. Are they weapons I'm going to put thousands of rounds through? Nope. Went to Taurus that day, came back and runs like a Singer. Bought one TCP for $100, with three mags. And I would carry it and feel confident, but just couldn't get over the price and was offered good money for it. Don't get me wrong, it ran great after the initial fix. I am not counting on Colt to outlive me and the very real possibility that factory support for the Mustang will vanish someday is a concern.Įnd of last year, my last "quality" 380 is bought. They would have been dead and buried a long time ago if not for their BFFs at DOD and investors who, for unimaginable reasons, think that giving them money is a good idea. How long ago did you have your P238? I have read that the early runs had alot of problems which have since been straightened out.Ĭolt has been on life support for years, mostly due to their own dumb, shortsighted choices. Anybody here owned both pistols? Do they have any parts interchangeability? I've read conflicting accounts about whether the mags are interchangeable or not. I'm leaning towards the P238 because I trust Sig more than Colt and it costs less. The Sig costs less and is a Sig, also I think it will take any other Sig pistol sights. Is one of these superior to the other in any way? The Mustang weighs slightly less and has more rounded edges, also the Colt mags are alot cheaper for some reason. That one was overpriced, and I don't want the ambidextrous safety so I am considering the standard Sig P238 or Mustang Pocketlite (new version, not the older one). It has a nice solid feel in the hand and seems to strike the right balance for me. I examined a used Colt Mustang XSP yesterday and was impressed with it sizewise. These are on the large side for pocket carry, the 42 because of the length of the slide and the 637 because of the cylinder width. By contrast I can shoot my Glock 42 and S&W 637 fairly well right out of the holster, focusing only on the front sight.
I can shoot it well if I really concentrate on grip and trigger pull but in a defensive situation that is a luxury I won't have or even be thinking about. Second, I have big hands and the LCP is just too darn small.
I shoot my carry guns alot, and unlike 9mm there is no endless buffet of free range brass for the. Yes, I know most people regard it as a carry alot/shoot a little sort of gun but there is no such thing to me. First, it flings brass all over creation. I think this spring I'm going to get out of my Ruger LCP for a pocket auto and get something a wee bit larger.
