I shot Contenders back in the 80's and loved them. They were more accurate than some rifles Ive owned. I now shoot only revolvers. I like to hunt and shoot close. I just like the way a revolver looks and feels. If you want to shoot a long ways get the TC. there aint very many wheelguns that compete with the accuracy at greater distances. I handgun hunt for the challenge, I guess that is why I choose a revolver. My SRH .44 serves double duty as a home defense gun in the off season too!
