Need opinions on three different lightweight .380ACP pistols

[MCgrease08]

What's your wife's level of proficiency with pistols? Is she an experienced shooter? Has she given any input into what she wants or how she plans to carry?

If not, getting the smallest and lightest pistol generally isn't a great idea, especially if you ever want her to train with it.

She's a very good shooter. She just wants a lighter weight carry gun. She has shot my son's Browning 1911 .380 Black Label and was fine with the .380 as in accuracy etc., but didn't like the safety grip on his 1911. She'll train a lot. We have some ranges built where we live so all will be good.

I wanted a Mustang. My gun pusher told me a P238 was what I wanted... so at this point I haven’t gotten either, but I think I still want the Mustang...

Have the mustang xsp, really enjoy it. Only gig is mag springs are stiffer than the coils on a 1968 ford.

I know three people who have the Kimber Micro 380. I've even shot one. Very nice little pistols. All three love theirs. The ones my friends have all have factory installed laser.

i know it's not one you asked about, but you might look into the S&W M&P bodyguard. it's really light and small plus it has a manual safety like your wife is looking for.

I have shot the Colt Mustang DOA and like it a lot. It is easy to shot and you can hit good in minute of man at 30 feet. 500 rounds through the gun and everything worked fine. If it came in a .32ACP I would carry it not my 1903 Hammerless. Had a Sig 238 didn't like it, got a Sig 938 fills about the same but is in 9mm so don't carry it. Looking at different guns in .327 Fed Mag, some are light.

What about the Kahr 380,great lil gun.
But I would ruther have a small 9mm like a sig 938,kimber,micro9,Kahr 9mm or ruger lc9s or lc9 pro.
