Colt Mustang 380 vs colt AGENT

[pocketman]

Can anyone give me some info on these little colts.
How much do the stainless steel ones weigh?
How do they shoot?
I had a pony pocketlite that I sold, I hated the trigger, very sharp edges, lowsey accuracy, and killed my trigger finger while shooting.

I have a mint colt AGENT, eagle ss grips old stlye made in 1970, dynamite snubby, I was offered a trade through a dealer.

I had not been considdering selling or tradding the AGENT, but this offer has me thinking.

I wouldn't trade a Colt Agent for a steel Mustang, and probably not for a PocketLite, because mint Colt Agents are almost never available. Buy the Mustang if you can (Much better gun than the Pony.), but that dealer will make out like a bandit with that trade.

Pocketman...

I have a Mustang Pocketlite. I like it better than the Pony's. Single action, it looks like a 1911 that's been left in the dryer too long. It's also very accurate and the trigger is light. However if you have a mint 1970 Agent, I wouldn't trade it off. I'm not a Colt expert, but I bet that snubbie is a good one. All my "older" pistols seem better than my newer models. Just MHO. Maybe a Colt expert will come on and agree or disagree.

I too have a Mustang Pocketlite - and am looking at the Agent and DS (maybe Cobra) for a pocket snubby. I wouldn't sell one for the other.

Thanks..

After thinking it over more, Theres no way I'd make that trade.
I am still considdering buying it though, But I'm not sure it would serve me any purpose.

ctc...I have had all three colt snubby's at one time,
dick spl,colbra,agent... I reccomend the agent if you plan on pocket carring, for belt carry I would say the colbra.
I think there best years quailty wise were the 60's- 72.
My agent is a series 1970 with the rounded 1/2 ramp front site, very easy to pick up, It out shoots any S&W j that I have had, 6 shots in almost the exact same size as the 5 shot smiths.
