weight vs a lcp?

That thing looks heavy

Aluminum alloy frame and stainless slide, so it'll be more than an LCP. Colt's claiming about 12oz from what I can find.

Similar to Sig P238?

Fred said...

I'd say so. The P238 is little more than a "Sig-ified" copy of the old Mustang.

I've got a couple of the old Colts, and have the P238. I prefer the Colts.

As for the weight (compared to a P3AT/LCP), it's doesn't make that much of a difference for "average" carry, but does make a positive difference in shooting.

Colt has a Facebook page? Whatever happened to their AOL account? ;-)
No wonder I missed it - but the Sig clone is popular.

I'm just still in shock Colt has a FB page.
