SIG P238 vs Colt Mustang (.380)

Sig had a safety recall of their earliest P238s and I still hear the occasional FTF story but much less often.

For the record, I get my 238 in a few days and cannot wait. I have 2 Colt .380s. One is a Gov't Model the other a Mustang Pocketlite. Figure the Sig would fit squarely between the two. Heavier than my Mustang, more compact than the Gov't Model.

My Mustang fills the carry a lot /shoot a little role, while the Gov't fills the shoot a lot /carry a little role.
 
I never did buy the Mustang. The 238 was good enough for a long time and now recently I have decided to sell it. Downturn in the economy finally caught up to me and the 238 is now packaged up and ready to sell.

I decided that since I had 2 Colt Gov 380's (slightly longer version of the mustang or 238) and spare parts for the Gov 380's. I would keep them and sell the smaller gun.

Had the economy not soured, I would have bought a mustang eventually but that is not to be.

Yeah, actually I did. And you actually replied to it when maybe you should have just gone about your business? :rolleyes:
 
Five year old thread or not it is interesting to note the Sig pistol did have some teething problems but once addressed it has become the totally reliable BU pistol that I and many many others carry with confidence. I have the Sig, Mustang and Kimber Micro (a later introduction of the same pistol) and many Star D series pistols and it is amazing how similar they are in construction with the Star pre dating the others by fifty years.
 
My Mustang has been sitting dormant for quite a few years, so I did a detail strip, clean, and reassemble including pulling the firing pin to clean & lube the hole it resides in.
Took it to the range yesterday and it performed flawlessly. :D For it's compact size it's a real sleeper. ;)
