I'm looking to buy either a colt detective special or a colt mustang and am wondering which would be the better CCW that i could also shoot frequently.

If you're still interested two months later, of the two, I would choose the Detective Special. Unless you're talking about a pre-war Detective Special, the price is about the same and cheaper reloads are readily available in .38 Special. And good .38 Special ammo has a little more horsepower than comparable .380ACP.
