Was debating between a .22 and a .380. Deal came up today and I ordered it

 

 

 

 

I didn't plan on getting a .380 but my wife got one so I did too.

I'm so torn on those things. I really want a Mustang, but they're godawful expensive. I lean more towards the alloy frame myself. 

Have you looked at a Sig P238 ? They look the same, but the Sig doesn't have a plastic rod guide.

I'm sorry to hear you purchased a .38

I'm honestly on the fence with sig. I've now gotten a return label to send my 2nd sig back. I think the 226/229 and others of that platform are great guns. But I'm losing confidence. I have 2 colts and both are solid. One even survived Vietnam.

Shawn - I saw the post and thought why the hell a 380 and spend "Colt Money"?

 

Then I looked at the specs....

 

Light, small (I guess don't see dimensions) and the big plus is a REAL  trigger with decent pull.

 

Carried cocked and locked you seem to have a winner.

They are small.

 

The guide rod if a problem is an easy fix

Here is a little write up. I did get a "first edition" model

 

 

Price wasn't to bad either.

Truth - if it proved reliable, I wouldn't change it.  The spring and guide are so short alignment shouldn't be a problem.

 

Think how short the guide is on a 1911 GI.

Only gonna change if it breaks. Doubt it will

 

 

I like this holster

BTW, Sig P238=copy of Mustang. It isn't a secret either.

I know. They just changed the feed ramps and some small changes

Nice!

 

Nice little baby 1911

 

Very low serial number too

 

They're friends
