The Pocketlite configuration combines a stainless slide with a dark anodized aluminum-alloy frame to reduce carry weight while maintaining durability. Its compact 2.75" barrel and micro profile make it an especially small single-action Colt in the .380 ACP chambering.
Controls follow a 1911-style layout with a manual thumb safety and push-button magazine release. The ring/rowel-style exposed hammer, no grip safety, and rear slide serrations (vertical) support straightforward operation.
Sights are fixed and low-profile, with a ramped front blade and square-notch rear to minimize snag potential. These features, along with the abbreviated hammer profile, align with the Pocketlite’s discreet-carry intent.
Capacity is up to 6+1 with the included single-stack magazines. This example ships with three 6-round magazines for flexibility in carry and range use.
Manufactured in 1988 in the USA, this pistol displays the PL-prefix serial format consistent with the Pocketlite series, reinforcing model-correct details enthusiasts look for.
