RE: Thompson Omega vs Encore Dilemma
I don't know you and can't answer the crazy question, but if YOU WANT the Encore and have the money, then buy the dang thing. I have 4 Encores in various calibers and really like them all. I have personally had a hankering for an Omega myself, but I already have 2 Knights, an Encore, and a BP Xpress. I have absolutely no NEED for one, but I will still probably wind up with one before next October. As for the Encore, I would look at the "standard" model over the Pro Hunter. There is too much "fluff" for the money in my opinion, but I will let a crazy man spend his money anyway he wants.
