Thanks, guys. I was leaning toward the Contender, but wanted to be sure. The Contender it is.

I owned one obout 18 or 20 years ago for a few weeks, with a .44 mag bbl. It was absolutely beautiful, but, up to that time, I had never owned a 44 hurt me as bad as that one did, so I sold it. But, ah, the ignorance of youth!

Wasn't it Mark Twain that said that "youth is wasted on the young?"

If it were supposed to be easy, they'd have sent my little sister to do it.
