Ditto on the Colt Pocketlite!
I've carried several small handguns over the last few years and found the same problems as others have mentioned above - to big or unreliable or both.
I thought I had the problem solved in an AMT Backup - the single action model which I found reliable AND small (this is an older discontinued model). However, it's a painful little sucker to shoot and it has no sights.
I recently had opportunity to shoot a Mustang Pocketlight and was SOLD immediately! This piece is slightly larger than the AMT but with its aluminum frame, far lighter. The locked breech makes it feel like a .22 and it actually has decent sights! It's fun to shoot and any beer can within twenty yards is a dead beer can.
I've put 250+ rounds of ball through it and 100 rounds of Federal Hydra-Shocks with ZERO malfunctions.
The AMT now resides in the back of the gun cabinet and the Mustang is in my jacket.
There isn't much I would change on this. The plastic guide rod and grips have to go. I wish somebody offered an aftermarket rear sight with a snag free profile - other than that it's pretty "slippery" as is. Colt's marketing people must be out of their minds to d/c this pistol!
