I think this spring I'm going to get out of my Ruger LCP for a pocket auto and get something a wee bit larger. The problems with the LCP are twofold. First, it flings brass all over creation. Yes, I know most people regard it as a carry alot/shoot a little sort of gun but there is no such thing to me. I shoot my carry guns alot, and unlike 9mm there is no endless buffet of free range brass for the .380. Second, I have big hands and the LCP is just too darn small. I can shoot it well if I really concentrate on grip and trigger pull but in a defensive situation that is a luxury I won't have or even be thinking about. By contrast I can shoot my Glock 42 and S&W 637 fairly well right out of the holster, focusing only on the front sight. These are on the large side for pocket carry, the 42 because of the length of the slide and the 637 because of the cylinder width.
I examined a used Colt Mustang XSP yesterday and was impressed with it sizewise. It has a nice solid feel in the hand and seems to strike the right balance for me. That one was overpriced, and I don't want the ambidextrous safety so I am considering the standard Sig P238 or Mustang Pocketlite (new version, not the older one). Is one of these superior to the other in any way? The Mustang weighs slightly less and has more rounded edges, also the Colt mags are alot cheaper for some reason. The Sig costs less and is a Sig, also I think it will take any other Sig pistol sights. I'm leaning towards the P238 because I trust Sig more than Colt and it costs less. Anybody here owned both pistols? Do they have any parts interchangeability? I've read conflicting accounts about whether the mags are interchangeable or not.
