New model Sig .380 coming soon
The latest issue of Gun Week has a preview of items being unveiled at the SHOT show. Among them is a Sig .380 that looks very much like a Colt Mustang. Barrel length is listed as 2 3/4", same as a Mustang. No suggested retail price in the article.

If it is half as good as their P232 it will be a solid gun, my guess will be $600+ retail. Seems a lot of manufacturers are jumping on the 380 pocket gun craze, but I truly wonder if there is a market for guns in that price range in this market? Seecamp will always take the small market willing to pay big dollars for the small mouse guns. The big manufacturers need to sell thousands of a model to keep it in production and I am just not sure they are going to find the market they are looking for. Time will tell!!!

I hope they put the magazine catch under the trigger one the left side (Where common sense says it should be) and use no plastic or aluminum in it, I'll want one if they do. Especially if it's available in stainless. They only thing I had against the P232 SS is the mag catch placement.

Magazine release is in the traditional 1911 type position. Frame is aluminum with blue or stainless slide. Appears to be a decent set of sights on it.
I had a Mustang years ago, but traded it off and of course, regret it. I'm not willing to pay what they go for now, but if Sig makes a reasonably priced copy, I may have to look into it. |

im not 100% sure this is what you are talking about, but there are alot of sig owners and 380 devotees that would probably buy one on principle. i seem to fit both categories, and besides...seems like im always looking for another interesting 380

What?? No decocker on this thing!
Jury is still out on this one. I might buy it if I see in PK, but I need to be sure if there is a decocker otherwise NO. The PK380 looks great as well. I wonder when it will hit markets in PK. |

That pic looks like it's been PhotoShopped and chopped (ie FAKE)...

That quasi-1911 trigger looks odd.

That photo looks like what is shown in Gun Week, although the picture details in the paper are not as clear as the pic is kind of small and black and white.

The photo indicated the new SIG is nearly a direct copy of the old Star "Starfire" DK .380. A very fine gun.

If thats the route they are going, I'll pass. I have no desire for a SIG 1911 either.
Now if they downsize/single stack the P250, I'll be all over it. As far as the mag catch being on the heel, its a lot more secure and less prone to disengagement, especially with a gun thats not in a holster. Same goes for a manual safety. If SIG felt the need to "copy" anything, the Seecamps would be a good place to start. |

I'll be first in line for the P238 pictured (not the PK238). I pocket carry my Mustang a lot in the summer. A similar Sig model would be awesome.
