My new baby, the Colt Mustang Pocketlite .380 ACP
Before and after pics of the grip modification.
Since it's a Colt Mustang, I had to get colors that match my 2008 Mustang. :clap:

Skeleton Trigger on order to get rid of the funky plastic one.

My other baby....
A lot more work to do on this gem though.
- Ford Racing Performance Pack and shorty headers to install this year
- Suspension package and lowering next year / staggered tires
- Interior redesign and some paint detailing in some portion of the distant future...

I see what you mean about the color choice. They both look pretty sweet!

Beautiful little pistol...I'm sure you'll enjoy it. I have somewhere around 1,500 rounds through mine and it's been 100% reliable. Grip is a wee bit small for my big "paws", but I knew that going in...the extended magazine fixes that. Enjoy.

Does yours shoot low and to the left? Mine sure does. I have to adjust by raising the sight higher and a little to the right. I thought it was just me and how I was holding it, but have seen it in the reviews as well (ref: http://youtu.be/HzsnH-80tdM).

Howdy MNMGoneShooting,

It will shoot low and left if I'm not careful...as I stated, my paws are big, and although the little Colt looks like a miniature 1911 - it's not the same style of trigger. If I place the pad of my trigger finger centered on the trigger I will shoot low and left - what I've learned to do with the Mustang is to place the first crease of my trigger finger on the trigger. With a steady press until the break...that little pistol then shoots to the sights.

Give it a try, maybe it will help...in any event, good luck with it.

Bill
