The New Agent versus The Defender
January 1st, 2009 by Syd
Two of the finest carry pistols yet designed, in my opinion are the Colt Defender and the Colt New Agent. That’s a pretty bold statement. Before I receive hate mail, let me explain that I am ruling out revolvers, which are not pistols. Let me also say that I believe the 1911 pistol is the finest fighting pistol ever designed. Quick, accurate, powerful. In a world of competing designs, almost a hundred years later, it remains the gold standard for the disciplined shooter, not the good enough gun for the lowest denominator.
