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.....

John

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....

I don't have many contender barrels. Favorite is ss. 12'' 45-70. I have several from 22 on up and enjoy hunting with them. Have 3 xp-100's 221,6br & 7br. Just got a 480 Ruger to add to revolver drawer in safe. It joins Freedom Arms 454 7.5'' , F.A. 357 Mag 9'', 4'' blue Python and others. I recently traded for an original contender 4xxx frame and 45/410 barrel that looks great for its age. Guess I will keep this one. Hope everyone enjoys shooting the t/c as much as I do. Thanks, Wayne:usa:
