Colt Mustang, serial MU53263, a 1990s-vintage pocket pistol in .380 ACP with a 2.75-inch barrel. It is an all-steel gun with a blued finish rather than one of the later alloy or polymer versions. Condition is very good with light wear from handling and carry. Sold used.

The Mustang is a small .380 built for deep concealment, and the steel frame gives it more heft than the polymer pocket guns that came later, which some shooters prefer for recoil control in a pistol this size. It suits a buyer who wants a compact carry pistol where state and local rules allow, or a backup to a larger handgun. Colt collectors also look for the steel 1990s Mustangs, so a blued example in very good shape serves both roles.
