Stopped at a gun store today, and happened to see a Colt Agent in the case.
I admittedly know little about revolvers. What I do know, is this is a Colt D frame, 6 shot, .38 special with aluminum frame and small grip. I know they are discontinued and havent been made in a long time and parts sourcing can be difficult.
This example had an amazing DA trigger, and gorgeous bluing. The stocks were in great shape. If I didn't know better I would believe it was only a few years old. Agent was clearly marked on the snubby barrel. The ejector was not protected. The sights were plain, but useable. The shop didn't have a price, they had just taken it in and would have one shortly.
This struck me as a great deep concealment carry gun. Are there known issues? How are they viewed compared to the S&W J frames in terms of quality? The extra shot seems appealing, and it was very lightweight. The cylinder release is a bit less intuitive, but not crazy.
If it's a decent gun, I could take an old Iver Johnson .38S&W and an old turkey gun to do some horse trading.
