They are an excellent firearm. The new G2 now has a good rubber grip which it did not have until this year. They had them for the Encore and the old Contender but not the G2. Although they shoot very well and are pretty versitile, they do not use the high pressure barrels that the Encore can use.

The barrels are reasonable and there is almost no limit to the options.
