Colt Mustang Pocketlite .380

The Haus has the best coverage I have seen so far on this resurrection of the classic (video too). It would have been much more profitable for them if they brought it out a year or two ago, but then again... Colt didnt really care about the civilian market a year or two ago.

Colt Mustang Pocketlite

Richard Mann has apparently gotten his hands on one.... he says that it weighs in at only 12.5 oz. He also has a video up of an initial range test

Michael Bane has a sneak peak at the Colt Mustang

Over at his blog, he said that he got to handle one of the new ones... and that they will soon be showing up in a gun fun case near you.

Frankly, it is a much tighter gun than my original, and the SA trigger pull was excellent...again, arguably better than the one I carried for years. Sights were better, too. I think I'm definitely going to get one...I wish they'd remake one of the little Government Model .380s...9mm would be even better!

The vampire gun:

The National Firearms Museum has just the thing: the Vampire Hunter's Colt Detective Special.
The revolver has a cross engraved on the muzzle, presumably to keep vampires at bay while the vampire hunter takes aim. It spits silver .38-caliber bullets, each of which is sculpted in the form of a vampire's head.
And its coffin-shaped box, lined with sanguinary-red velvet, comes with a helpful vial marked "Holy Water."
The Vampire Hunter's Colt Detective Special, which is a silver-plated version of the snub-nosed handgun once prized by Mafia hit men and pulp fiction's world-weary private eyes, is one of the newest additions to the collection of 5,000 firearms.
It goes on display Oct. 8 along with 400 newly acquired firearms in the new Robert E. Petersen wing of the museum at the National Rifle Association's headquarters in Fairfax County.

Colt Modular 7.62 Battle Rifle



Well, it looks like the rumors are now confirmed.

A few days ago, our friend Eric Graves at Soldier Systems posted a very short blurb on a 7.62mm NATO (7.62×51mm NATO) modular battle rifle/carbine/SBR (Short Barreled Rifle) that Colt Defense is developing called the CM901. DefenseReview (DR) can confirm that the Colt CM901 indeed exists. We can confirm it because we’ve seen it, handled and examined it, and fired it.
Some quick background: Defense Review first found out about the CM901 at SHOT Show 2010 from one of our professional/industry contacts. In the first week after SHOT, one of our U.S. military Special Operations (SPECOPS) contacts told us about the modular aspects of it, and how it worked. He communicated to us that the gun’s design was pretty slick, and he seemed very enthusiastic about it, which piqued our interest. If the CM901 was able to excite this individual (a Tier 1 operator), we thought, it must be pretty cool. And, as it turns out, it is. It’s very cool. The CM901 is pretty badass, actually.
