Hey Dave, it is and it is my hunting handgun. She has taken two deer so far. I reload a 270 gr. Hornady jacketed soft point. I used to load 240 gr. XTP for deer and 300 gr. XTP for larger game like bear.

I have about 11 barrels for my contenders. I have a G2 and an original Contender. Had the original sent back to to TC for an upgrade to take the newer G2 barrels. I also own an Encore, but in rifle configuration.
