Contender handguns
« on: May 01, 2005, 12:33:00 PM »
Over the winter I aquired three Contender frames and four barrels all scoped, the frames two are the newer style not the G2 and the other has the cross hammer selector, the cals. are 22LR, 221 fireball, 44 mag super 14, and 7x30 waters, what should i expect from them , im new to the contender family and now that the weather is getting better im going to get in some range time. Thanks Dave :D  :-D

First of all, expect an expensive hobby!  First, you'll want to start reloading, then you'll want to add new barrels, grips, etc...  Its an appetite that cannot be satisfied!

In all seriousness, you have an excellent selection of barrels.  The Fireball is a great short barrel varmint caliber, and the 7-30 is an excellent all around deer caliber.  I've recently learned that trigger jobs are very easy to perform, and these guns are extremely accurate.  

Good luck!

I think that you can expect to have a whole lot of fun with your new handguns!  You posess a very broad selection of barrels and can tackle most any game  that you choose. Be sure to post often and tell us how your shooting is going.
