Went down afterwork yesterday morning and picked up my new Contender. And she's everything I dreamed she'd be. She came with a walnut forearm and a Pachmyer rubber grip, so I stopped by a local shop and bought a walnut grip for her. Then found out I need a different bolt for the walnut grip. Took it to the range and managed 3 inch 5 shot groups at 50yrds with cheapo Blaser ammo. Add to that the fact that by that time I'd been up for 22 hours straight and it's pretty impressive. Stopped back by the gunshop on the way home to talk to the smith about a scope mount, and also picked up the Pachmyer forearm to match the grip. Wood is classy, but the lady looks sexy in black. Got her home and mounted my old T/C 4X scope off of my mauser on her. Means I have to go back to the range now to sight her in again. Dang, I hate when that happens. Got me some 158gr SWC to start working up loads too. Ain't love grand.

I sold my Contender in 1985 when I was broke. I still miss it. What a gun!

Now she's on her merry way back to T/C to get a new hammer spring installed. Still, nice looking pistol for 3 bills. Hope she finds her way back home soon.

Too bad. Just think about how much fun it's going to be to get a new gun twice!:D
