I have the Government Model - longer slide and grip (7 rounds).
Excellent little pistol.

Both the Sig P238 and the Kimber 380 Micro versions are virtually identical copies of the Colt original Mustang. All are top notch, though slightly heavier than the 380 poly pistols. Colt solved that - they even make the Mustang in a poly-framed version. If you want a version almost identical to my little Government Model, the new Browning 380 is pretty darned close - just a tad larger. As long as you're comfortable with the 1911 "cocked and locked" manual of arms, any of them are a great choice IMO.

BUT, for an ounce or two more weight and about 1/4" more length a pretty compelling argument can be made for getting the Sig P938 or the Kimber Micro 9.
