Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Colt Mustang is a line of two lightweight, single-action pocket pistols chambered for the .380 ACP cartridge, produced by Colt's Manufacturing Company. The firearm line was produced from 1983 to 1996 as the Colt Mustang and from 2011 to present the Mustang was reintroduced along with an alloy frame model and an updated polymer frame version, the Colt Mustang XSP.In 1983, Colt introduced the Colt Mark IV/ Series 80 Government Model -.380 Auto.
This pocket pistol was similar in appearance, but not design, to the Colt M1911. The Government Model .380's obvious aesthetic difference being that it is scaled down to roughly 78 percent to that of a full-sized M1911 Government Model. From the factory the .380 Government Model came with a capacity of 7+1. In 1986, Colt introduced a simplified version of their .380 with a shortened barrel, slide, and grip frame, holding two fewer rounds and sold it as the Mustang.
The Marine Mustangs have served Country and corps throughout our Nation's great history. And, Now, Colt's Manufacturing Company, Inc. and The American Historical Foundation are proud to pay tribute to those who now serve and those who served through the introduction of the U.S. Marine Corps Mustang Commemorative Colt.This is a specially created version of the Colt "Mustang" .380 automatic pistol that fires readily available .380 ammunition. It's small, handy size means it could be used to defend your family, home or Nation, in the tradition of the many other Colt battlefield-proven firearms. Each is firing, Genuine Colt Mustang. Under the supervision of the Foundation, each pistol is brought to museum-quality standards for this Limited Edition.
