THE THOMPSON / CENTER CONTENDER PISTOL
Charles Stephens (64 pages) PP
Price $18.95 SB

The Thompson/Center Contender is inexpensive, simple and safe to operate, versatile and extremely accurate. This venerable firearm combines single-shot capability with optional barrel lengths, pistol and rifle grips and stocks, and it fires both vintage and hot new cartridge chamberings. Charles Stephens has been a competitive shooter since 1983 and won the 1990 NRA Long Range Silhouette National Championship. He uses a pair of Contenders equipped with different barrels and sights for competition because, as he says, "I have witnessed more trophies being handed out to competition shooters in the metallic shooting sport who used the Contender pistol than any other firearm." This easy to follow guide contains everything you need to know to tune, time, load and shoot the Contender, as well as ordering information and accessories and marksmanship pointers from the author.
