I had a Colt Mustang that was easy to shoot at the range.

I've still got one -- an "old" one tricked out a bit back in the day by SM&A and now sporting a pair of old ivory grips with medallions that I was able to purchase from "Yankee."  I value it highly.


This stainless-steel Mustang is surprisingly accurate for the length of its barrel.  The only reason I don't consider it to be a pocket pistol is that it's a single-action piece with no grip safety.

Yet another fine example of pistol pulchritude.

The February issue of "GUNS&AMMO" features the .380 Glock 42 on the cover.

G42 stands for girls with a median age of 42--a market they have missed until now.

I'll buy one if it gets a good looking G42 to talk to me at the range.

As far as I'm concerned it's of no interest, a small single stack 9mm would have been a hit especially with the Glock fanboys.
  In a small easy to conceal and comfortable to shoot 380 you can't beat the Kahr P380 and I've tried most of whats available.
 I've gotten out of the 380s and don't think I'll ever own another.

I handled a P380 at LGS a while back, he slide stop seems to be a problem.

Either I would be pushing up on it or my thumbs would lay on it and I'm thinking it would gouge me a little with each shot.

For people that have them and like them - how do they hold them?

On shooting a P380

Just like any other pistol.  It has never been a problem for me.

I agree with yankee's assessment of the P380.  There are several guys on the Seecamp Forum who have bought CW380's as backup to their P380's and say they shoot just as good. 

I did handle a G42 this weekend. (no shooting).  It is a lot smaller than it looks in the pictures and really a pretty nice pistol.  I am not going to buy one though.
