I have had the Mustang since 1990ish and the Bodyguard I bought last summer.
The Smith has 2 mags, one with a pinky extension (barely), and I would like to get a better pinky extension if they have them like I did for the Glock 26.
The Mustang (Pocketlite) could use a pinky extension, and I have 4 mags with it.
They both weigh about the same (12 - 12.5 ounce) and the length is about the same (5.3 - 5.5 inch).
The Smith shoots better groups and with better accuracy for me (Colt shoots high), even with the SW long double-action only.
The only gun I've got where a "trigger" job sounds like a good idea (besides the Ruger Security Six, and some Taurus revolvers have had harsh triggers).
The Mustang does spoil oneself with the single-action only.
I should sell one or the other (keeping two .380s seems counterproductive to my "trimming" mode I'm in.
I just can't make up my mind which to keep or sell both and get a different kind of .380, or give it up and just get a small 9mm.
I was drawn to the Bersa Thunder .380, and the Beretta .380, but neither are smallish.
I just went that route of trying to get a small 9mm and ended up selling the Beretta Nano and got a Glock 26 (not a small 9mm. , but I've always wanted a Glock)
Needless to say, I got carried away and still need a small discrete small 9mm (Glock 43 not much smaller than my Shield 9mm), unless I have to go with a .380 for the truly small size (for ultimate concealment).
No hurry, and I'm more inclined to keep the slightly lighter/smaller SW and since I'm not a Colt collector and sell the Mustang.
I see them selling for $450 - $500.
I have the original box and manual, with 4 magazines, so mine should qualify for the $450 - $500 range as well, unless those are inflated asking prices and they sell for less.
I can list it and find out if any interest. I won't sell if I couldn't get a good price for it (had it for nearly 30 yrs. just b/c it was a Colt).
I have an NAA 5 shot magnum revolver for that very reason, but have always not liked it, don't carry it anymore, so I should probably just sell it and perhaps just keep my Beretta tip-up barrel .32 caliber, but a truly small .380 would probably serve.
Goals:
1. smaller CC (smaller than Shield 9mm and Glock 26, and both of these .380s if possible)
2. eliminating calibers (eliminated .25 and .45 calibers and never owned the .40). I now have .22LR, 22 magnum (not the one I'm selling), .32, .380 and 9mm.
