[ARCHIVED THREAD] - Colt New Agent Update

I got my Colt New Agent back from Colt and just had a chance to finally get it to the range. It initially had some FTF issues and a grip safety that bloodied my hand after 200 rounds. I put another 150 rounds through it today and it ate them all without a hiccup. With the new beaver tail safety Colt added, it wasn't the painfull experience it was last time. Now I feel much better about carrying this little beauty. I was actually shooting the center out of the target after the first box of ammo. The sights (or lack of) are getting easier to shoot with every time. Click on the pic for more views

On a side note, I looked through your album and I have a Nickel plated 6" Diamondback. It's never been fired and still in the original box plated from Colt. I hear it's worth a couple coins. It started out as Dad's, but I officially stole it.

Sweet Miller! I'm just a sucker for old Colt wheelguns! My nickel Diamondback is a .38 and looks like brand new, and a blued Diamondback in .22LR, that is new and never fired. If your nickel Diamondback is a .22 it IS worth BIG BIG $$$, like over $3000! If it's a .38 they still are worth 1/2 that at around $1300- $1500. My "Snake Gun" collection includes all the factory Snakes. Diamondback (2) a Python, Cobra, King Cobra, Viper, and an Anaconda. I'd like to add a Boa but they are selling for more than a nickel .22 Diamondback! I bought the New Agent just for CCW, since I can't convince myself to actually carry one of my other Colts. They are worth too much and appreciating in value daily.
