New to T/C
« on: September 01, 2006, 03:31:52 AM »
I recently inherited a Contender with six barrels of various calibers. I am now addicted to the Contender. I have questions from time to time, and so far most of the answers I have found here on the forum, asked by other folks. I look forward to talking with you guys. Any advice and suggestions will be greatly received.

Welcome to the T/C world and Graybeard. There is a lot of knowledgeable people here and I am sure we all can help if needed..  ;D

As for suggestions, find an IHMSA club and drop in to see how the silhouette shooters tune and set up their Contenders, There's a lot of accuracy potential in those antique looking, slow shooting pistols! Check out this thread: http://www.graybeardoutdoors.com/smf/index.php/topic,97064.0.html and check out www.IHMSA.org

It looks like you need a 375 JDJ; then you'll be ready to go for everything from varmints to elephant.  Tell your wife/girlfriend I said so...Christmas is coming.
