The Colt Mustang may look like a mini-1911, but it is not 100% 1911; more like 95%. The ejector mechanism is not the same. It is moveable, and IF you push it too far down the mag well, you need to depress one of the fingers of the sear spring to put it back.

It is good shooting gun. One of the few locked-breech 380s on the market, it has a single locking lug on the barrel hood and slide, which makes is a bit softer shooting; versus the harder kicking straight blow-back where only a recoil spring holds the barrel and slide closed until the pressures lowers.
