Have a nice first gen Contender in the safe, took it hunting once or twice for pistol only season in Indiana.

Other than that, don't really shoot it as I got too many guns and not enough time.   I have a .44 mag and 223 barrels for it, although never shot the 223 barrel.

Its a nice shooter in 44 mag.  Anyway, think about selling it but the values on them seem depressed.  Instead I thought about making it an SBR as there is a nice folding stock for them.

However, think I might just be wasting time and money.  It would make a super quiet host, but I would probably end up shooting it just slightly more than I do now which is just a bit more than zero.

Thoughts?  Would I just be happier with a Rugger 44 bolt action?  I wish a distributor would commission a special run with 16" threaded barrels.   Or just get a .458 SOCOM upper, I have the AR SBR lowers to run them.

I'm in the same boat. My TC just sits in the safe, but I've thought about picking up a 357 magnum barrel and getting it threaded to sling heavy (subsonic) projectiles through a 9mm silencer. I'd probably be forced to drop $200 into turning it into a SBR at that point.

Luckily a barrel hasn't dropped in my lap as of yet so I've resisted the temptation.

Just do it.

You know you want to.  



I've got short barrels in .22LR (a little too short for a stock), .357 mag, .300 Whisper, .44 Mag, and a couple of long barrels.

Only a matter of time before I do. I have a 12 inch .357 Maximum and 14 inch .30-30 that need a stamp and my cans.
