It was only offered with a 2-inch barrel and only in. However, it featured a smaller “stubby” grip frame for deeper concealment. The Agent was very similar to the Cobra, with an alloy frame and steel cylinder and barrel. It would go on to be developed into an interesting lineup of compact revolvers, including the Agent. It was dubbed the “Cobra”, the first to take a snake-themed name, and featured the same “D” frame, but was made out of aluminum alloy instead of steel, with a steel cylinder and barrel. In 1950, Colt began selling a new variant of their famous “Detective Special” revolver. Most people either open carry, or not at all, and many of the small, concealable guns of the day were marketed towards LEOs, usually as backup guns to their standard duty revolver. It was a time when a radical shift towards the everyday Joe and Jane being able to carry was beginning to crest, and laws were all over the board. The America of the 1970s looked at Concealed Carry in a much more interesting way than today. “There’s a snake in my boot!” Or is there? The Colt Agent may not be a TRUE member of Colt’s legendary Snake Guns, but it’s at least an honorary one.
