There was no creep, and no overtravel screw to adjust. The trigger was crisp and about four pounds. Then I spent some time dry firing and trying to get used to the sighting system. Once I had my New Agent home, I cleaned and properly lubricated it. The trough is not meant for accuracy so much as it is meant for speed. The idea behind the "gutter sight" is a snag free, quick to acquire sighting system. The New Agent lacks conventional sights, relying on a 2mm channel cut along the top of the slide. What makes the pistol unique in Colt's line-up is the sights. The New Agent is a Series 90 pistol, incorporating Colt's patented firing pin safety. The mainspring housing is plastic and the frontstrap is serrated. The thumb safety is the same little nub as was present on the M1911. The grips are slim grips, with a double diamond pattern that is pressed rather than sharply cut. The pistol has a blued slide atop an anodized frame. The barrel length is three inches, and it carries 7+1 rounds of 45ACP. The Colt New Agent is an Officer's ACP sized pistol with an aluminum alloy frame. When I finally realized the price was the same as a used Lightweight Commander, I broke down and purchased my first new gun in several years. It took me several days to decide to purchase Colt's dedicated carry gun, even after I had found a nicely priced example at a gun show. For a while, I had secretly lusted over Kimber's dedicated concealed carry pistol, but I never could get past the Series II thing. It was a pistol designed to take Kimber's Ultra RCP and smack it down to the CCW mat. In the Summer of 2007, Colt released a pistol to little fanfare.
