Thompson Center Arms Contender .410GA .45ACP 1rd
1 in stock
Description
This Pre-Owned Thompson Center Arms Contender is a single-shot break-action pistol built around the interchangeable barrel system that made the Contender a staple of handgun hunting and field shooting since 1967. This example wears a 10 inch round barrel chambered for 45 Colt and .410 shotshells, a dual-purpose setup that suits small game, pest control, and casual range work with a single firearm. The barrel is rifled and bored to pattern .410 shells, so the same pistol handles a solid 45 Colt load or a shot charge depending on what the day calls for.
The barrel on this unit is a plain round profile with no ventilated rib and sighted with open iron sights. Shooters already running a Contender frame will recognize the appeal of adding a versatile chambering, and anyone new to the platform gets a straightforward, accurate single shot with room to grow into other barrels.
