Jeff, I started out with Contender pistols a long time ago....After I started with Encore pistols I decided to try some carbine barrels to see how they shot against my Browning 1885 and Ruger #1...

I like them both ways....I have never fired a Contender in carbine configuration, I like them too much as pistols......Although I gotta admit that a 7-30 Waters carbine might be entertaining....

I got way too many Contenders and Encores and barrels an stuff to even pretend that I don't think they're swell.....

By the way, the most accurate barrel I own is a 14" Contender barrel in 30-30 Ackly Improved.....It outshoots my Bullberry 30-40 Krag and most everything else I own....

Well maybe so I dont have the disease quite as bad as you do.... I only have 2 Contender and 2 Encore frames and about 25 Contender bbls and 10 or 9 Encore bbls...

My accumulation is probably a lot more standard than yours is too.... About the only non standard barrels I have is 14" Bullberry 30-40 Krag bbl for the Contender and a 338-06 Ackley Improved Virgin Valley 26" for the Encore.....

Now all I need is time to shoot them......

John
