Thank you, Sir. It is the first new car that I have ever bought. i have always been practical, and bought vehicles that were at least a couple of years old, but lost all ability to reason when I ordered that Boss. Awesome car.
@Gunblastdotcom Hm. I'd find it real difficult to not spark a hog leg cruising around in that '73 Mach 1. I knew a guy who had one and he got crazy with it in the middle of an intersection and slammed it into the side of a dump truck. Sad day.
I have a first gen colt government model 380 and like the pistol alot. The sight picture is alittle iffy though, seven well placed shots with a 380 will get your point acrossed..
I've been searching couple sites, but can't find this gun available. It retails for $599, and how much should I expect to pay for one these brand new? I live in Norcal.
@djhitman323 At this moment in time, I imagine that street price isn't going to be much lower than MSRP. It seems like the thing's hard to come by, which is going to keep that price up.
I know this is a quality made gun, but I'm telling you a .380 is not a good round-it will get you killed. IT WILL NOT STOP A LARGE RAT. Do NOT trust your life with a .380
This is quite possibly the finest .380 ever made. Mine feels like you're shooting a Rolex. I have an original series Mustang and am happy to see people now have an extra option for a fine quality self defense weapon that anyone can shoot easily. I may have to buy me a few new ones. :-)
I am going to purchase either the Colt Mustang or the Sig P238. You have reviewed both and I know they are very similar. Which one would you buy and why? Thanks in advance.
Silly question #72: I presume that this can be converted to a "lefty" by changing over the magazine release. And if so, is it something that a person of average skill can do or is it best to leave it to the pros?
I have done a review on the Sig. The Sig is a copy of the Colt that was discontinued a few years ago, thus the part about the "reintroduction" of the Colt Mustang Pocketlite.
Very interesting, I did not know that you had a classic Mustang. The 351 Cleveland that I raced first in my '68 Mustang then in my Fox body Capri was based off of a 351 Cleveland out of a '73 Mach 1 my Dad bought as a basket case over 30 years ago. I still have the short block including the 4 bolt main block in my garage . I was also going to put an order in for a new Boss 302 until I looked at how much my kid's college was going to cost me. Ouch!
@Gunblastdotcom I agree, but unfortunately most employers don't.
Where I work, the first thing that management does is to send the new engineers to me (I am totally self taught) to learn how to do the job correctly, then they make that person my boss!!!
My kids will have the real world knowledge that came from me PLUS the (expensive!) piece of paper saying they are smart.
I guess I would agree some college is like art and history majors. What about health care professionals like Doctors, nurses, pharmacists etc? Last I checked they were all college grads and their schooling is not "over-rated". Not everyone can land into a dream job without going to school...
Yes, much of their schooling is also over-rated. There is no need for a person to have to attend liberal art classes to learn how to remove a ruptured spleen, but they have to play the game to get the degree.
God is really good to me. I built the house myself about 20 years ago, with the help of family and friends. Cleared out a spot in the woods for it. Not a "lawn" that city folks would like, but it suits me just fine.
Great job mixing it up with the cars! I wonder how the little mustang will do sales wise now that sig has perfected the P238. I imagine they'll draw the Colt fans but might have trouble luring the average gun purchaser.
I was just at the Colt Factory in West Hartford, CT wanted to get one of my older 1911's repaired, had a chance to go into their indoor range, got to try out that one, it's fairly accurate, but the price is what scares me
I am a CHEVY man but, I do keep a warm place in my heart for the MUSTANG, I like both of these (want them in black though) great COLT mustang, thinking of getting one.
Nice Mustangs, my ride is a '70 'Cuda with a 440 / 4 speed original matching numbers. Wouldn't sell it for anything, lol. Funny how the Colt Mustang was the inspiration for the Sig P238, which sold so well that Colt finally woke up and started producing the Mustang again. Nice little pistol, and as always a great review.
Nice Mustangs! Had a '69 Boss myself when I entered the Navy (way back in 1975). Man do I miss that beast. Maybe one day I'll be able to afford to rent yours... Thanks for sharing. Oh, and great piece on the pistol too... :)
WoW finally in production,right on. OK I'll start the debate which ya like better Sig p238 vs New Colt Mustang. I've been waiting on the mustang but I'm a Colt dude. Now I just gotta find one of those babies.
Cars and guns. Good intro combo to introduce the compact pistol. Which car did you like, the old classic Mustang or the new 2012 Mustang??? Did they let you drive both of them in the video?
My dad has one, I had the Sig version (P238). These guns are very accurate and easy to shoot compared to other sub size 380's (P38T, LCR). But I can't justify a SAO 380. I do not feel comfortable carying a SAO pistol in condition 1 inside a pocket. It limits the usefulness of this gun. What I would like/love to see is a SA/DA version by Para-Ordinance.
Thank you, Sir, but the credit for the video goes to my brother, Boge. I just stand there and look pretty, but he does the work putting it all together.
nice cars brother, and i'm a camaro man, i own a 94 z28 auto and 01 SS 6 speed, fast fun driving cars, not too big on the new ones, the ZL1 will be nice though
I really loved the new Camaro SS, until I drove one. Did not impress me at all. I never wanted a new Mustang, until this Boss was introduced a few months ago, and I just had to get one. Wicked fast, gobs of torque all the way through the powerband, and revs to 7500 RPM. Foolish spending that much money for a derned car, but I was obsessed with it.
@Gunblastdotcom yea i've never been a fan of the 4.6 GTs, but the new 5.0 is nice, my 94 Z is built to a 383 lt1, 3800 stall,3:73 gears, and a ford 9" rear, the 01 SS is stock and clear coat is gone, but i got it from a friend who sold to me for a good deal, he just wanted it out the yard because it was sitting and he has a 08 z06, it took me 4 years to build my 94 z but it was worth it, 500lbs of torque through the powerband is nice, my rear tires look like slicks because they are so worn
I have always liked some of the Ford products, but I was never a "Ford man" until recently. Since they didnt take any of our tax money for a bailout, I am now a Ford Man. I bought a Ford truck back in January and I love it. Nice cars and thanks for the review of the gun.
The Gunblast web-page reviews the features of the Colt Mustang = specifically the safeties. Good review, for people just considering > buying a small pocket pistol!
I love the Older mustangs, the look better, and sound better, can't beat the old Carburetored engines for sound, they may take a few minutes to warm up up, and get running fine, but hey ifn ya know how to clean one, they ain't ever gonna need to be replaced, and if you can do it right, you will not need to replace anything!
