Back into Contender handguns

[Stumpkiller]

I have a pair of frames and a handfull of barrels. GREAT handguns.

And not a bad rifle action. The .223 carbine is definately my most used centerfire rifle.

I even had a .22 Jet barrel (.357 Mag necked down to .22). What a rabbit-hole that was to go down.

I also have a pair of G2 that I keep as rifles, a .22lr and a .223, that I keep for a quick grab. I have reworked the triggers on both of them for a 1-1/2 pound pull. I'm still debating how light I want to make the handgun trigger.

i got into handgun hunting when i was 22ish yo, it was a Ruger Super Redhawk in 44 mag. i killed several deer and then i got divorced and the Ruger was sold. 12 years ago i bought another Ruger SRH in 44 mag and then i had a stroke. 10ish years ago i buought a Encore with a 15" MGM barrel in 6.5 Creedmoor. i killed a couple of deer. 9 years i sold SRH to get a SBH with a 4 5/8" barrel in 44 mag. i killed several deer and now it is a 44 spl.

my dad (RIP) had a Contender with a 14" muzzle brake in 7x30 Waters. he killed alot of deer with it. i have it now and i bought a 30 and 357 Herrett in 10" barrels. i am reforming cases for the 30 Herrett. when i'm done, i have 130gr Speer hp and Reloader 7 to shoot it. i will hunt deer with it and i'll see if i like it. then next year i'll try the 357 Herrett. i think i'm going down the same rabbit hole!!!
