Colt seemed to drop off the civilian radar in recent years, concentrating on military contracts. However, with the wars overseas winding down, Colt is back in a big way. In the past, the Mustang — and many other mouse guns — received little respect. That being said, would you stand still simply because it was a sub-9 mm caliber? I wouldn’t either. The Colt .380 Mustang is a single-action pistol, so if you’re familiar with a 1911 your transition training will be minimal. The Mustang Pocketlite’s aluminum alloy receiver, stainless-steel slide and barrel are all CNC-machined from solid bar stock. With a loaded magazine, the Mustang weighs less than 1 pound and measures 5.5 inches with a 2.75-inch barrel. The Mustang will pack six in the mag with another up the pipe. MSRP $600.

Handguns aren’t reliable fight stoppers. I’ve seen people shot with everything from a .22 short to .44 magnums and still up and walking around. I’ve also seen plenty of corpse’s shot with .22 short, .25 acp, .32 and .380. The Colt Pocket Lite is a good concealed carry option for when you want a gun but can’t carry something bigger.
Yeah, but its a .380 cal. Not a reliable fight stopper in my opinion.
