Howdy..........and Welcome to the forum............from Texas. Not sure 'bout your pistol. There are more knowledgeable folks (and a couple of know-it-alls) around here that can give you some pretty good information. Enjoy your stay.

The last one I saw for sale was $950.

WOW!

I was offered it in trade for my sig 229 9mm. Do you think it would be a good trade? I have never seen this gun before but I am a newbie to the handgun world. It does not have the original case is that a bad thing? Thanks for all your time and info.

I thought I was "worldly", but I have never heard of a Mark IV Colt in .380ACP. Just goes to prove you learn something new every day!

Does it look something like this?



Colt Mustang Series 80 .380 ACP

I was aware of the Mustang and the Pony. I was thinking Government Model with the Mark IV.

Here's a Colt MK-IV/series 80 Government Model-.380.
This gun cost me a Ruger SP-101 and some cash last year at a gun show. About $500 all total. Now I see them selling for $700 up. If you got one good luck with it.

Sweet! Hold onto that one Mr. Baldy.

Shoot Jimmy I can't get my hands on it. That belongs to the boss and I have shot one mag through it since shes owned it. I gave it to my pistol smith and he done his magic on it and at 10yds my wife will shoot the X ring out every time. Oh well Mama's happy and that's all that counts.

What did you have to bribe her about with that one?

Tony just listen to Alabama's song Dixieland Delight and you will know where I am coming from. Nothing like a home grown country girl.

Understand completely.

Jimmy here's a Colt IV SS Gov series 80, 380 ACP pistol. It's my carry and a great little gun. I personally wouldn't sell mine for $1500.
