A great modification
I have had this trigger installed since about 1990 and many, many rounds later, it won't break like the original plastic part. I replaced all plastic parts early on and my pistol is still like new and is a "go to" summer carry gun. C&S parts have proven their worth to me.
Would you recommend this? Yes, I would recommend to a friend

Better than the factory
Once fitted and installed, it worked much better than the cheap factory polymer trigger shoe. much tighter tolerances than the original.

P938
I read some things about possible using this in the Sig p938. I took the chance and replaced the plastic trigger in the P938 and this one works great. I have also read you can use this in the p238 as well.

If you have a Colt 380 buy this now.
If you have a Colt 380 buy this now. The cheap plastic trigger that comes in the gun will brake some day. You do not what that to be the day you need it.

A lot better
Much better than the factory plastic junk trigger that brakes.

I would and did buy this product again
Fits perfect in my Sig P238. A great improvement to the factory nylon trigger.

Minor fitting required
Needed minor fitting to clear magazine release internally. Nothing some light sanding couldnt accomplish. Will probably pick up a spare in case they decide to stop making these.

Mustang trigger
In general a good product to replace Colt plastic trigger. Did require some cleanup of some burrs on trigger, especially in opening for spring.

Works ok in a government pocketlight.
mine had some metal shavings in the nooks and the mounting pin holes shifted the trigger lever back a few mils causing it to get stuck on the ejector clip preventing the trigger from resetting. It only happened when you fired it with live rounds too. Work just fine dry firing. Took me a while to find that one. I fixed that by rounding the corners on the trigger bar bracket. I hit it with some 1100 grit sandpaper to shine it up a bit and get it to slide in a little easier when installing

THIS WILL FIT THE SIG P238! nice piece!
I had asked the question about whether or not this would fit the new Sig P238, but the response was NO. I decided that my curiousity would not let that deter me from trying it out... After all the Wolff springs will fit both the Colt and the Sig. This went in without a problem and worked out very well. The only thing that I would add to this part (and I am surprised that it was not added) would be an overtravel screw at the bottom. I installed my own and it makes a huge difference. Also, one in a parkerized black would be sweet as well. If Cylinder and Slide decide to machine one in, please send one to me !! and Brownells, advertise this for the Sig P238 also.
