Contender handgun frame with everything in photo: selector rebuild kit from Bellm, new hammer spring (installed), Pachmayr Decelerator grip, factory wood grip and 12-14" forearm (can also be used on 10" barrels), socket head screws for forearm, factory grip bolt for wood grip.
I got a G2...
I have yet to take deer with a handgun, but I will be taking out a 7TCU Contender out until I do. I have used the same model in 5.7x28 and a rimfire barrel or two to take some groundhogs. They are much easier to get in and out of the field, but take a lot more practice to shoot well.
What does 132.05 state? Is that a LEO exemption only? Does that refer to having a CCW permit?
The ordinance about public meetings specifically applies to brandishing, displaying, etc. If the public meetings are held in the Minicipal Building, that is the ordinance relating to possessing them...
T/C Contender barrel (updated)
Want a barrel and for T/C Contender in 32 S&W Long or 32 H&R Magnum. I am trying to put together a light plinking carbine for the truck to use at the range, farm, or camping. I would also consider a 38 Spcl, 357 Mag, 300 Whisper or Blackout, 7.62x25, 9mm, or 17HMR...
I think it looks nice, but I prefer single shots and lever actions for my hunting. I currently use a T/C Contender in .357 Mag handgun. This limits the distance I can comfortably take shots, but that is part of the challenge for me.
My search for next year will most likely be a lever in...
Unless you are looking for a reason to get a new gun a 12ga is fine, especially if you already have one. Get the sights that snap onto the rib (one of the ways I used to hunt squirrel) and find exactly where it patterns. Then when you have a closer shot you can lead ahead of the squirrel and...
A 20ga or any 22LR will do you well. For scopes keep the power at 4x or lower for better field of view finding your quarry. I tried going back to a shotgun earlier this year for squirrels and hate it. I would rather stalk and wait for a safe shot than pick out pellets.
I have used single...
If the lack of a load gate bothers you (they are normally not on rimfires anyway), get a Marlin. I had a Weaver K2.5 on my 44 Mag 1894 and really liked it. A compact fixed 4x or smaller would be what I would recommend. You could always go with a Skinner Sight to keep the slick look to the lever...
I have a 2 MOA dot that is homeless right now. I intended to put it on the 357 Mag barrel I have eventually. It will either be there or on the carbine after load development is done.
I have been to Tri-County and Pigeon River. Forget the Airstream, a stand isn't even on my radar. Even at PR, there are a few spots that could afford a shot over 150 yards in the woods if you had the means to effectively take it. I currently use a 10" 357 Magnum with a 2x scope. I need to work...
