Have any of you guys seen any "fire" or "Hi-Viz" sights for Contender barrells?
Are there any stocks that you've switched to that takes care of the "trigger guard slap" that you get when shooting hot loads?
Thanks,
Ben

I don't know about the Hi-Viz Sights but I shoot a .445 Super Mag 10" barrel and a .45/70 12". I wear a pair of leather work gloves when shooting those hard kickers.[:(]
As for getting thumped by the trigger guard in the heavier calibers. As I recall, in concert with the "easy open" upgrade there was some improvement in the guard. Shooting gloves may also help you, and if you haven't tried one ... check out the TC rubber insert grip. Lastly, the grip angle is different on the G2 yet you can use the original contender barrels so you may want to explore that option.
If you only have time to do two things so-so, or one thing well ... do the one thing!
Only thing I can say is keep your fingers out of the way [;)] J/K
Try the rynite grip it's smaller more room for your fingers.
1 shot is all ya get so make it a " SUREKILL " (T/C Encore-/-Contender/ MATHEWS SWITCHBACK Shooter)

Here's the combo that works for me!
Comfortable and never misses! It's
always been a good hunter. 7-30 Waters.
Another quick question:
Are the Encore sights interchangable w/ the Contender?
What about Thompson's Black Powder sights?
