Billy I am glad you are having good luck with your Encore. I had one and hope I never experience tht kind of grief again. I shoot sidelocks now and will never go back. I do have a NEF Sidekick tht shoots very well vor an inexpensive ML rifle. I also had a lot BS coming out of the customer support.

Now this is all with the Encore. I am a confirmed Contender user. I love those handguns, but wouldn't give a plug nickle for an Encore.
