The Agent uses Colt's lightweight aluminum alloy frame finished in matte light gray, paired with steel components finished in matte Parkerized for a consistent, non-reflective appearance. The combination keeps weight down while retaining robust steel where it matters.
The 2-inch steel barrel features a thin profile with an integral ramped front sight. An unshrouded ejector rod maintains the classic D-frame silhouette. Sighting is straightforward with the fixed ramp front and a grooved top-strap rear.
This is a traditional double-action/single-action revolver with an exposed spurred hammer and a smooth trigger. Capacity is six rounds of .38 Special, maintaining the hallmark six-shot D-frame layout in a compact form.
Factory details include the short-butt grip profile and checkered walnut stocks with gold Colt medallions. The box end label reflects model D8220 and finish code P, aligning with the W-prefix serial range that denotes 1982 production in the United States.
