I have a full size gov't .380 in stainless
and I love it. Small, flat, controllable, same controls as a 1911.
Disappears under scrubs at work or a t shirt and shorts in the 100 degree weather.
The only criticism I've heard is that the mag release spring is underpowered and some have their thumb contacting it and releasing the mag under recoil, but I'm a southpaw, so have never had that problem.
For customization, there's Scott & MacDougal, or Cylinder & Slide. Been thinking of sending mine off for Novak sights, etc. but I can't part with it for that long.
Have seen them go for as high as $600, but I got mine used for $450. Whenever the local dealer gets one in, they get sold in a matter of days.
I guess Colt management isn't smart enough to bring it back into production.
