The Pocketlite variant combines a matte stainless slide with a matte light alloy frame for a durable, two-tone finish. The DAO trigger, spurless hammer, and dehorned slide edges support snag-resistant handling suited to a micro .380 format.
Built on a short-recoil, locked-breech action, the design helps manage recoil in a compact footprint. Capacity is 6+1, the slide locks open on an empty magazine, and the left-side magazine release is positioned for straightforward operation.
Sights are fixed and low-profile with an integral ramped front and a low-profile rear notch. The approximate 3.75 in sight radius supports precise alignment while keeping the profile trim.
Dimensions emphasize concealability and light carry: overall length is 5.5 in, height is 3.9 in, and weight is about 13 oz unloaded. Black checkered synthetic grips with silver Rampant Colt medallions complete the package.
As part of Colt’s Series 90 DAO .380 line that was discontinued in 1999, this U.S.-made example reflects late-1990s production and has features collectors and enthusiasts recognize, including the micro size and practical, carry-oriented configuration.
