Contender year of manufacture??
« on: June 06, 2003, 05:09:23 PM »
Handgunhunt.com used to have in the technical section a listing of year made by serial number for contenders and encores but I can't get the page to load.  Is there another site to get this info?
Thanks.

8)  What are the first 4 numbers? They are the only ones I have seen on the web. I was the one that gave them the numbers in the first place.

Eric,
The first four are 4458xx.  It has the full body cougar on the side and I thinking it was not too long after that they went to just the head.  I'm on the road so I can't look at one of my other frames but I'm thinking it is a 457xxx with just the head.  Do you know when they changed this?  
I see you're in Minnesota.  Congrats on the recent concealed carry law getting through.  I lived there for 6 years and now that I'm gone the law passes.  In Nebraska we've been trying for a number of years.  Heck if liberal Minnesota can get shall issue there's hope for Nebraska yet.
Thanks alot,
Darnell
