I finally got a chance to shoot my new Colt Mustang Pocketlite. I have been trying to buy one since they first were re-introduced in the spring/summer of 2011. I went on a backorder list but after almost a year of hearing that it should be arriving in about 2-3 weeks every time I called, I cancelled my order. Of course, two weeks after I did that, they actually did arrive but were quickly sold to those who had more patience than I did on the backorder list. I then went on the email notification lists of anyplace I could find online that offered such a service. After many months of never being notified I decided to buy the Sig P238. The P238 is a Colt Mustang with a Sig flair. From what I understand, Sig bought the rights to manufacture the Colt Mustang, which Colt stopped producing in 1997, right before the pocket .380’s took off. Way to go marketing department! You can usually find the original Colt Mustangs for sale on gun auction website. They were first introduced around 1987. They have a cool factor as they look like miniature 1911’s and were very popular for a time. However despite their cult following, the original Mustang was not known for its reliability. Its slide was cast rather than made from a solid block of steel. Tolerances were not as tight as they should be. Most worked well and others worked well after a little gunsmith work.
