Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Agent was basically the early Cobra, only made with a special short grip frame. The Agent was intended to be a highly concealable undercover revolver with a minimal grip to aid concealment. It was available in blue or nickel finish, and in .38 Special. The blued guns had blued steel parts and a blue-black anodized aluminum frame and cylinder crane. In 1982 the Agent finish was changed to an unpolished flat matte black. The barrel length was 2 inches. Grips were checkered walnut made to slightly overlap the bottom of the short grip frame, or smooth wood. The First Issue model featured the same thin barrel and exposed ejector rod as the Colt Cobra and Detective Special of that era. Initially issued in 1955, it remained in production until 1972. In 1966, Colt standardized all "D" frame models to the shorter grip frame used by the Agent to streamline manufacturing. Following this change, the Agent became identical to the Cobra, differing only in its barrel stamp and shorter wooden grip.
