I find the debate of the safety (or lack thereof) of the FAs very interesting. I am wondering why no one has mentioned the "lack of safety" associated with the old TC Contenders. They are very dangerous in the wrong hands, but I still prefer them to the G-2 and the encore.

I will keep my old contender frames (and remember to break it) and my FAs & load 4. I have yet to fire 4 rounds from any of the FAs at any one animal on a hunt. Actually, two is my personal max on one animal.
