Great Deal on a Colt Agent

That's the later Agent with the shroud. An unshrouded Agent would cost more but you certainly got a bargain at the price you paod.

That's a helluva deal. Good going!

^^^ Especially from Gander Mountain!

I had one of those Colt Agents when they first came out during Colt's labor trouble years. Should have checked it out more thoroughly but was thinking, "Hey it's a Colt, what could be wrong with it?" Unfortunately it turned out the cylinder crane assembly was off center in the frame and wouldn't make a full rotation without getting stuck against the forcing cone of the barrel. I eventually decided to trade in on a Ruger Speed Six as I figured if Colt would let this gun leave the factory that way it probably wouldn't fare much better getting it repaired under warranty.

nice
It seems like you got a screaming deal.
I hope it shoots as good as it looks. Please post a range report.

I would have been on that like a fat girl on a doughnut!

OP, You did really well.


The Colt Agent does not seem to get any respect! Ya know what I mean.

I wish I knew that before I bought one. I got it because it is a light weight six shooter and this one is pristine. Too nice to shoot or carry. And now I will have to take a loss or hold on to it for a few years to recoup my cost.

Sweet Zombie Jesus! Great deal! Would be a great cc piece or backup or coup DE grace hunting gun. Alot of roles it can fill.

Smokin' deal! Congratulations!

I have one of those that I carried alot and one that is NIB. Sure, the finish is rough, but they are great carry guns.

I hear you, centag, and understand where you're coming from. However, though my Cobra is every bit as nice and pristine as your Agent, it'll never be "too nice to shoot or carry." I got mine for the same reason(s) you bought yours, "because it is a light weight six shooter" but mine gets carried regularly and shot on occasion. Yes, everyday "wear and tear" won't help the resale value but I'm not a collector and I got the gun to carry concealed.
Still, I have to concede that rub marks on the little Colt do seem more evident than even wear evidenced on a fine Smith Model 12 that I also tote on occasion...

Congratulation on a smokin deal. I'd love to find one at anything close to that price

You got a great deal.

Nice Agent.
