RE: T/C pistols question?
 

kts, edstc.com was the site I was speaking of. I've bought several bbls from him and like you said, he's top notch! But in order to see all of what barrels he has to offer, you need to e-mail him or give him a call. His list on his site is nowhere near what he has in inventory. Give him a call at 405-879-0879 and he'll send you a list of what he currently has.

RE: T/C pistols question?
 

Thanks to t/c fan and kts for the info.I checked the site you guys mentioned and the prices did look alot better.I will probably pick up another caliber one of these days.There is a gun show in my area at the end of the month so I'll check for barrels there also.I took this gun out today and shot it with a red dot off an old 22 and it shot great.And alot easier to clea than my wheel gun:)

Contender recoil?
 

How is the recoil in a 44 mag 10'' bull barrel compared to the same barrel in a 357? I am just curios in case I ever get the itch for another pistol barrel.

RE: Contender recoil?
 

The 44 will have more thump, but as too how much will depend on the load you're shooting.

RE: Contender recoil?
 

Ya I have never shot factory loaded ammo thru mine but, full power hand loads can be a handful in that 44 mag, hang-on! On the other hand the 357 aint bad at all with full power loads and compared to my 2.5 inch revolver is a ***** cat to shoot.

I just shoot paper with mine and then only in the winter months when the weather is to nasty to set up on the long range (50-200yds) at the gun club. We have a short range, (10-50 yds) that sits off the club house and is fairly protected from the elements
I have some loads that just pop the bullet out to 50 yds or so with little to no recoil. Great fun when you need a powder/bullet fix on those cold, wet winter days.
