Conclusions
The first point I want to make clear is that this not an IDPA/IPSC/Competition pistol. I have heard some complaints about the New Agent not having sights. That is not entirely true; the sight trench works well but it does take a little practice to use effectively. It may not be as precise as the adjustable Bomars found on top of the Special Combat Government, but it is plenty good for the intended usage of this pistol.
The little Colt cleared leather quick and with the enhanced frame causing it to sit low in my hand it pointed nicely. The New Agent is definitely more than a sum of it's parts.
This pistol fills a niche for a small carry pistol without sacrificing stopping power. I am not looking to get into the whole 9mm vs .45 ACP debate. Lord knows that has been discussed more times than semi-auto vs. revolver. I know the 9mm is accepted as a defensive round and I agree it can do the job. I also agree the revolver is a viable option as a carry pistol. I am just referring to those who prefer a small semi-auto chambered in .45 ACP as a carry pistol, which I believe is a large demograph.
