Thanks guys, I decided on the G42. Picked it up yesterday and also got a desantis iwb holster. Its very easily concealed wearing jeans and t-shirt. Also have pocket holster that works pretty good.
Years ago back in college I worked at a large gun shop in Tulsa. We sold Colt by the bucket as the owner was a huge fan. I sold many 10mm Deltas and 380 pocket Mustang type guns. Every one I ever sold I told the new owners that after 500 but before 1000 rounds replace the recoil spring. Wouldn't you know it, almost every one came back within 6 months with cracked frames! I knew Colt warranty process like my way home! The few that survived were safe Queens.
If the op plans on putting much practice (which he should) into this pocket rocket, the G43 it should be. The little Colts just aren't intended for much shooting.

Just to be safe, 
I'd get both.

Well, good pick. I sometimes carry my G43 in my pocket, it's not that big of a del, and the 42 is a little bit smaller than the 43. Plus, your wallet will be lighter too, if you plan to shoot much, because .380 ammo is quite a bit higher than 9mm. Wife has a Kimber Micro .380 though, a kissin' cousin of the Mustang, and it sure is a blast to shoot.
You exactly described my problem.
Just offering a welcome to OaSA.
Welcome Angela!
Welcome. Although vast improvements have been made in the .380 platform, for the same size or slightly larger you can get a 9mm which has far superior ballistics and ammunition options.
Instead of the Mustang, buy a Colt Pony. No way on God's Green Earth am I going to carry a Pistol Locked & Cocked in my pocket. The Pony is a D/A only. FYI, Kimber Micro 380 mags work perfect in a Pony or a Mustang.
Don't get yer hopes up guys, this sound suspiciously like a bot reply (and often the prelude to a multitude of SPAM posts).
If not, my apologies to Angela.
