32 S & W Long I immediately began to look for a company that could supply Contender barrels in custom chamberings. Arthur Brown Company, an outfit that lists a lot of products by T/C, Ruger, and others. I purchased my G2 Contender pistol with walnut stock and a 12-inch barrel in. The sights, optical or metallic, remain attached to the barrels so resighting is not necessary when changing to a new caliber. 44 Remington Magnum, and most everything in between, from the same action by using easily interchangeable barrels. Rimfire and centerfire cartridges are both possible because of the Contender’s clever, hammer-mounted firing pin combo.
The versatility of the Contender owes to the possibility of using interchangeable barrels to shoot different calibers with one action.
The G2 Contender and other single shot T/C products reappeared in 2015 when one could again buy a Contender pistol or carbine. The Contender disappeared from the market for a few years during the gun market craziness that attended certain governmental administrations. The company was bought by Smith and Wesson in 2007 and production was moved to Springfield, Massachusetts. The original Contender action was replaced by the improved G2 model in 1998. Primarily a hunting arm, the Contender enjoyed some popularity and the Thompson Center line expanded to include a carbine and a stronger action for powerful cartridges that could be had in pistol or rifle configuration. which then manufactured the pistol for sale. It was invented by Warren Center while he was working for the K. The T/C Contender is a visible hammer, break-open, single shot pistol that appeared in 1967.
