All things aside this is a very nice looking semi-auto pistol.
It is a shame the the looney left controls CA. My poor friend Tom is caught in the dilemma, he wants a really nice gun, but the state of CA tells him it is an assault weapon, and he cannot own one. (He is a Marine (retired) and a retired LEO. Is this not insane?)
I don’t think I would want one anyway. Just too short for a 1911. Now a Commander or Combat Commander would be fine.
Of course if you want one that is enough of a reason. Too bad for California residents.
Try contacting this store and see if they can help you out. At least they should be able to advise you as to if this gun or a similar Colt model still is available in CA. Also, they have a store in Tucson, and if you cannot purchase it here in CA, then maybe in their AZ store.

It’s pretty alright.
But who wants a .45 with a 3in barrel?
.357 probably. 9mm probably.
But ~600fps in a caliber that often does not have enough velocity to open a hollow point bullet? I would venture that a 9mm with a 4in barrel and 125gr bullets would be more destructive.
I got a chance to shoot one. Way better than I expected. Slick and easy to use. And very surprising to see great accuracy with that channel sight. I swear it feels faster because you aren’t looking for that sight. Probably just a perception, but it felt that way.
To hell with the socialists, it is your country, not theirs! They are the inheritors of the lake of fire, that’s it. Don’t let a socialist determine your fate at the hands of freaks. They are worm food, they just haven’t realized their potential yet.
a 7 shot 1911 is an assault weapon? How the F does California get away with this crap? and Democrats wonder why they have lost the House, the Senate, the White House, 12 governorships and about 900 state legislature seats. Yeah, it was Russia’s fault. sure.
Anyone with better knowledge on the topic is welcome to correct me there.
1911 Model is cloned in other countries to make ghost guns that don’t have a serial number that the gangs use to commit crimes with.
So the 1911 clones get reported as 1911s when they aren’t at crimes.
The idiot government of Cali thinks banning this model will prevent crimes when the criminals aren’t even using these actual guns.
In other words, they are stupid.
I love 3” 1911’s, another option for one is the Sig ultra. Always wanted to try the new agent myself
The reason they are no legal in CA is because they cannot pass a drop test with a round in the chamber...or Colt didn’t submit them for safety certification.
It’s got nothing to do with an AWB. They ban these guns under the color of safety.
Agree completely, no frick’n .45 in a 3” barrel. As a side note, just ordered a Springfield EMP4 contour (bobtail) carry. Can’t wait, although they said it could be 1-3 months.
“Colt’s New Agent 1911 — Why Can’t I Buy One In California?”
Does it go BANG?
Come on !
If he wants one That badly...
2nd party purchase?
California is NUTS for sure!
Wait till next year for the ammo Restrictions!
Colt did not submit this (or other models) for approval or renewal on CA’s approved roster. If a semi-auto pistol is not already on their roster, it will have to be able to micro-stamp brass to be added. Consequently CA shut down all new semi-autos ever being sold new in CA.
As far as CA infringing the 2a, we’re going to probably need at least 2 more supremes and somebody will have to challenge CA in a major way.
if you cannot purchase it here in CA, then maybe in their AZ store.
>>>they have a store in Tucson, and if you cannot purchase it here in CA, then maybe in their AZ store>>>
If you only have a CA I.D., you can’t buy one in AZ or anywhere else outside of CA for that matter. Handguns can only be purchased in your State of Residency.
Used to not apply to Long Guns, but now that CA “registers” ALL Guns purchased, you are probably SOOL there too.
Bump
Yet right next door we have open carry. No one even bats an eye at one in Sam’s Club.
