What is the differencr between the Contour and Contour Lite? Anyone have one or the other?
 
Hi Viking-

The Contour has a steel barrel. The Contour Lite has steel barrel liner inside an anodized aluminum "shroud" that is the exact same dimension as its steel barreled counterpart... thus making it lighter.

I have the Contour, and there is nothing I do not love about it.
Hope you find yours soon.

I have a Contour Lite. I went with the Lite because I wanted to teach my wife how to shoot with it and I thought the lighter weight would be easier for her in extended sessions. Plus I was also putting a red dot scope on it so that was going to add some weight back.

Having shot it side by side with a bull Buckmark of the same length, I can say that I like the extra heft more. The extra weight seems to dampen out my jitters more. If I had to do it over, I don't think I would buy the Lite. Mind you, I'm not a bullseye or competitive shooter. It's just a practice and teaching gun to me and also for that reason I wish I had something that weighed closer to my other guns.
