I picked up the AGENT saturday, brought it home, and detail stripped it. It is in brand new condition inside and out.
I almost wanted to put it in the safe and drive back to the shop and buy the outher one for a shooter
It is for all purposes the same size as my S&W 342 but has an a sixth shot. I love that!
Over the years I've owned two detective specials but was not really enamored with them, I also owned a 1962 colt cobra that was a great shooter but I hated the grip,(to long) my preference has always been pocket carry, It conceals best for me on a daily basis.
I took it to the range with 50 rds of win clean 125g, a 100rds 148g lswc's and a box of fed. 110 pd jhp's. Its a great shooter, The trigger is super smooth, from the start I was shooting fist size groups from 20 feet, It is more shootable and I already get better accuracy from it than any j frame I've owned.
I have probally had a dozen of the small smiths, and have put close to 1000 rds through my current S&W, And the AGENT far outshoots them, Its a definite keeper, carries excellant in a unclemikes size 4 pocket holster, Its a shame what has happened to colt, If they had better management and produced a alloy rev. today of this quality they would be a big player in today compact revolver market. Now all I need is some ebony eagle secret service grips
