My quest started when I first heard that Colt was releasing a new Colt Mustang Pocketlite. I went to any online gun sight that I could think of and when possible submitted my email address to be notified. Twice a month or more I would haunt the local guns stores looking for one. Finally after 16 months I got an email telling me that Impact Guns had them in stock. However when I logged in it was too late. They were all gone.

 

I waited some more and finally decided to buy the Sig P238, a Sigified version of the Mustang. The very next day I walk into a different gun store to buy some .380 ammo and lo and behold they got in a new Colt Mustang. Since I had just bought the Sig the day before I had to reluctantly pass on it. I still kept looking, calling up stores and asking. Then the panic buying set in and it was very difficult to find popular guns, especially those not produced in large numbers. I have found guns I want only to have them become out of stock between the time I placed them in my cart and was ready to check out.

 

My birthday is coming up and my wife told me to buy myself a gun. I have bought over 30 in the last 3 years but only kept looking. There was only one gun on my bucket list left to buy; the Colt Mustang Pocketlite. I have spent the last two weeks constantly checking online gun dealers. It was interesting to see guns posted and then gone within minutes. This morning I had placed a NAA Black Widow in my cart and before I checked out I wanted to see what else they had. When I went back to my cart the gun was gun and out of stock. All day I watched guns added to the in stock items at all hours of the day and then disappear soon thereafter leaving only the off brands, cheap brands, not well liked and very expensive guns for sale. I pushed the limits and found a few websites that I have never visited before and while looking for something else I saw the Colt Mustang in stock. it was $100 more than two years ago and $60 more than last year but this time I pounced on it and it will be in my hands by the end of this week if all goes well.

 

I will give a range report when I shoot it but my long search is finally over. I used to tell people that there is only one gun on my buy as soon as I see it list, money or not and this was it. Do I need a 5th pocket gun? Well no I do not but I want one. I have this thing for small guns. Then again my wife is 4' 11" and 95 lbs. so .......

 

Well congrats on finally fulfilling your quest sir!  

 

I hope she shoots as well as she has in your dreams lol.  2 years is a long time to wait for a gun.  At least you won't have to endure our long NICS wait.  

congrats!!! hope you get all you wanted in her..
