Got to shoot my Contender today for the first time. It is at .357 mag 10" barrel. Took it to my dads to show it off and we fired off a few rounds. We shot some 38 specials that my grandpa had reloaded years ago. He passed away 9 days ago. It was fun shooting with my dad and brother in law. My grandpa loved shooting and guns (NRA lifetime member) and I imagine he was smiling today. Awesome gun, great plinking load, great day.
