[QUOTE="QuietTexan, post: 2659366, member: 116181"] I recently got a T/C Contender plus barrels, feeding my new handgun addiction 🤣 But just to be sure I don't rearrange my face accidentally I have a few dumb questions about this thing. 1. Frame is satin stainless, S/N is S40xxx and has a rotary C/s/R safety switch, so this is a "G2" right? I want to order a 300 BLK and 30-30 AI barrels for it, seems like an easy call but I want to be sure. 2. 45 Colt 410 barrel - I know to remove the choke before shooting 45 Colt shells, but is there anything to screw into the threads in place of the choke? Or just leave the threads open and clean them with a wire brush before putting the choke back in? 3. Safety Nerd Question to keep the R/Os happy with me: The correct way per the manual to unload an unfired round is put safety on, cover firing pin with thumb, drop the hammer softly, then open. One wrinkle - while the manual shows in Figure 28 the hammer sitting off the firing pin in the at-rest notch, it seems like the hammer moves all the way down anytime I release the trigger and won't reset to the at-rest notch until I pop the trigger guard spur. Seems like an odd quick because all other functionality seems to work correctly except the hammer won't sit at-rest after a trigger pull. Figure 10a shows a gap between the hammer and firing pin when "at-rest". It seems like changing the manual's process to releasing the hammer with the trigger guard spur instead of the trigger - with a thumb blocking the firing pin - is safer because the hammer falls into the at-rest notch that way, and the trigger is never pulled.
