Depending on who you talk to there are four basic rules of gun safety. These rules were created by people who want to define a basic set of guidelines to protect themselves and others when guns are in use. These aren’t laws, there was no bill passed which made these basic gun safety rules to come into existence, yet responsible gun owners and the industry alike many times will speak to these rules as if they a were law – call it self regulation. Why can’t we agree that the fifth (or possibly the first) basic ruke of gun safety
I prefer my reviewers to sound like they’ve actually shot the gun and to—you know—actually review the gun.
Also, I’d have more faith in this review if the people didn’t sound like they were reading from a teleprompter.
• What are the guns features?
• What are the guns dimensions?
• What kind of options does Colt offer in this version?
• Why is this demonstrably better than say a commander (which is supposed to be less prone to timing issues anyway?)
• How did the gun group and with which brands of ammunition?
• What holsters are available and which ones are recommended?
• How feasible is it to use 8 round magazines in this gun and does one need or want finger extension grips?
• Is the New Agent offered in any other calibers?
• Who provided the test gun(s)?
• What kind of safeties does the gun come with?
• What are the “trench sights” and why are they that different or more desirable than standard adjustable sights which citizens have been carrying for over a century?
I know the answers to some of this, but I still expect a good review to cover most of it anyway—especially since I’ve already researched this 1911 before seeing the review and not everyone has that benefit.
Whoa. Dude. Preview. Preview. Full review to follow.
Tactical critique:
Move laterally (outside the line of attack) while drawing.
Keep your eyes on the threat while reloading.
Don’t crowd your cover. Moving back gives a larger field of view with less exposure.
Pretty good timing. I’ve been eyeballing a Colt Defender the last few months and I’m considering pulling the trigger. My Government is great for most occassions but sometimes I need something a little smaller. While this isn’t a review of the Defender they are virtually the same firearm so I’ll be interested to see what he has to say.
Chief White speak with forked tongue.
Bring down Morse and watch all the others squirm! And don’t get me started about Mister Maddow….
I’m going to make a donation to BFDF!
Here’s another shocker. So does Zeiss.
Nikon optics went to the moon. What else need be said?
“Because I know first-hand that Jim Carrey is indeed talented…”
Talented at hitting women and making the most annoying, and obnoxious movies in existence.
Are his eyes hollowed out because he’s a homocidal maniac or is this just a photo of a kid on way too many psychotropic drugs that his brain can’t handle?
Seems interesting to me how large a % of the most recent spree killers were also either on or just coming off the same types of drugs that no one really understands how they work and their effects on the human brain.
It won’t save a single life. There will be more shootings, which will result in calls for even stricter laws, which won’t affect crime, there will be more shootings, which will result in calls for stricter laws…. until law abiding citizens are completely disarmed. At which point the violent crime rate will continue to rise and there will be calls for more restrictive knife/baseball bat/pointy stick laws.
Cycle will continue until the tryanny becomes intolerable.
Wait, what is this about, “The law also makes important changes to the handgun permitting system and will help prevent tragedies like the 2010 shooting by a man licensed to carry a handgun that left eight dead at a Hartford beer distributor.”
Does that mean CT will no longer be “shall issue in practice” for concealed carry?
I can’t believe some of the morons slamming the Colt New Agent as unreliable ? Bullshit ! That only tells me you have never owned one but probably just can’t afford one ! I can get two Glocks for the price of a CNA ! Colt quality,Colt reliability ! PS,I own 4 Glocks too, and they are fantastic weapons !
