Guess they want a piece of the .380 market too. I liked the Mustang I had years ago but would rather have a double action for a pocket gun. I didn't see a price on them.

The one 380 I would consider owning

Have had two different 380's....were not happy with either per se...Its still a pitiful cartridge...no matter how you slice and dice it

I have always like the looks of the Mustang, a baby 1911. But they never functioned very well the first time, if they function better this time I might would get one.

Tanker's article mentioned how terrible the first Mustangs were....Like any first year production of a gun these days...I'll let someone else be the guinea pig

Bought or traded for one. I never could get it to fire off a mag without one jam. Good looking but I couldn't trust it. Traded it for a stainless model 66 and never looked back. Hope the new ones are better.

I carry my SIG P225 as a pocket pistol. It does not print and it isn't heavy. It will also shoot under 2" at 25 yards.

I would have rather seen them bring back the Govt model .380 in stainless...much better pistol. Should have my butt kicked for trading mine.

Glock even plans to enter the .380 market by putting the .380 that originally was only available in Europe to be sold in the US late this year. Problem is that it is identical in size to the subcompact 9mm. I think that is the model 26. Wish I had mine back.

Can you elaborate on this or provide a source? I was under the impression that Glock was unable to import the .380 due to arbitrary weapons importation laws.
