The Colt New Agent is a compact, lightweight 1911-style semi-automatic pistol designed specifically for discreet concealed carry. Introduced in 2007 and produced until approximately 2015, it was marketed as a modern "belly gun"—a powerful, large-caliber firearm intended for fast, close-range defensive use.
Key Features
The New Agent's most distinguishing characteristic is its snag-free design, intended to facilitate a smooth draw from concealment.
Trench Style Sight: Instead of traditional front and rear posts, the slide features a narrow "tunnel" or groove milled down its entire length. This provides a low-profile indexing reference for point shooting while eliminating potential snag points.
Compact Frame: Based on the Colt Officer’s model, it utilizes an aluminum alloy frame and a shortened grip to reduce weight and overall footprint.
Bushingless Barrel: It features a 3-inch stainless steel bull barrel that locks directly into the slide, as the short slide cannot accommodate a standard 1911 barrel bushing.
Safety & Trigger: Most models use the Series 80 firing system with standard thumb and grip safeties and a 3-hole aluminum single-action trigger. A rare Double Action Only (DAO) variant was also produced, which lacked external safeties and used a spurless hammer.

Shopping at Guns.com gives you the backing of a company that is committed to your satisfaction. And unlike our competitors, it extends beyond the buying process. We get the FFL from your store – others make you find it, copy it, and fax it. We have a generous return policy, and handle everything – you don’t have to go back to the store. And our Rangemasters are here to answer all your questions about our products or process. We're bringing a level of service to the online gun buying experience that is unheard of.
Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community. Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state. At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible. That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.
Most everything can be easily bought online these days. But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated. Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want. Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice. Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
GForce Jawbone 9mm PCC Review: Affordable, Reliable, & Runs on Glock Mags
While quirky, the GForce Jawbone has been very reliable, with the ability to run various aftermarket Glock magazines without issue over 800 rounds of testing. The ambidextrous controls are a plus, but I wish some were a bit less easy to bump.
