The Agent is Colt's lightweight D-frame revolver, combining an aluminum alloy frame with a blued steel barrel and cylinder for a compact, six-shot .38 Special package. This example dates to 1977 and retains the model's hallmark snubnose 2-inch barrel and fixed-sight layout.
Factory-style features include a shrouded ejector-rod lug (half-shroud), an integral ramped front sight, a topstrap groove rear sight, and a serrated topstrap. The action is double-action/single-action with an exposed hammer.
The steel components show a polished blue/black finish, while the frame is aluminum alloy. The cylinder is six-shot and blued to match. The bore condition is noted as good with well-defined rifling.
Aftermarket Pachmayr black rubber finger-groove grips are installed, providing a secure, hand-filling profile on the compact D-frame. As a 1970s-era Colt, this Agent reflects period features and construction from Colt's U.S. production.
