Ok folks - exploring our extra curricular (with respect to CCW) interests. :wink:
One or two mentions have been made here and there of T/C Contenders - and so thought I'd see how many fans here, if any!! Can't remember covering these before - if so apologies!
I have just the one frame - original Contender. My fave by far is the .223 barrel and that is usually how it stays set up - makes good use of the round even as factory - tho in theory reloads to suit are better. Total tack driver and sometimes I swear - it shoots tighter than my Ruger 77 MkII in .223.!
With the .44 mag barrel it is also great fun - but because I have other .44 mag platforms that one is not used a whole lot.
I have not yet even dirtied up the 45/.410 barrel I picked up a while ago.
Must say - the Pachmeyr grips and forend are a treat - feels excellent.
