Much like the .380 Mustang PocketLite design that preceded it, Colt's Mustang XSP is a small, lightweight and reliable handgun-except, this time, it's sporting a polymer frame.

Such a frame, of course, is the most noticeable difference between the two models-but it's not the only one. Colt spent a significant amount of time adding a series of ergonomic touches to the firearm's frame, improving its performance in the operator's hand.

Colt is continuing its standard tradition of offering a "First Edition" run of its new handguns. 1,000 First Edition models will be available.

Get a closer look at the Mustang XSP-notably, the aforementioned First Edition version-with the video embedded below.
