Colt New Agent .45 ACP pistol

Cute looking little automatic pocket pistol, the kind small enough to tuck into a sock. Nicely made, beautifully finished, beautifully photographed for the magazine article. Styled just like the real thing, the .45 Government Model automatic pistol. Except it is much shorter, lower, and lighter.
It's still chambered for .45. "At the range, several shooters noted that the New Agent was an effective pistol with some difficulty associated with the sharp recoil."
Translation, it kicks like a mule. I can believe that, the regular, heavy, .45 auto kicks hard, and the muzzle blast is startlingly loud. A handgun shorter and lighter, firing that cartridge, is going to kick so hard as to be next to useless.
But it's handsome.
