Anyone having luck finding a G-2 Contender pistol frame? My local dealers say there is a waiting list a mile long. Seems T/C can't produce them in high enough volume to meet the demand. Heck the boys at Hornady haven't even seen one yet for testing data. What's up with T/C?

I know where one of em is, its in my gun safe I bought it this past fall, went in to the local gunshop to pick up a stainless Contender and there was a G2 in the display case, the owner handed it to me to look over and I bought it too. That was the first one he could get, and he says he hasnt been able to get one since. Hang in there, they're worth waitng for.

Contender85: Boy you really know how to hurt a guy. I would gladly watch it for you if it needs a babysitter. Sounds like it could get jealous of your old contender. Hate to see a fight start between the two. Ha Ha.

I do however plan on hitting as many gun shows as possible in search of a G-2 pistol frame. Well wish me luck. I'll let you know if I find one.

I know where another is... in my safe as well. No-one in Pa had one , 'cept Ron's T/C's. Could not find one in any gun shop around, till I found a great deal on Gunbroker, then snatched it up. Did a trigger job and a Bellm spring and it is smooooooth!!!! Just waitin' on that right barrel to put on it.

One in my gun safe also. I called Ed's Contenders in OKC and he had them. Shipped to my FFL holder.

OK, you are tired of hearing from guys who already have a G-2. I had been waiting for over a year, as the release date was rolled from month to month to year to year. I had a deposit down at a local gunshop and got one in June 03. It was approximately the 700th one of the line that was shipped to a dealer. At the TC shop in front of the plant, a guy told me that they had backorders for "tens of thousands of G-2 frames". Surely, they are catching up by now? Go to someone you trust, put down a deposit, so the next one in will be yours. Makes a difference IMHO. Also, IMHO, the Bellm trigger kit for the Encore is a must for the G-2; turned mine into a shooter.

I hope you guys don't throw anything at me, but here goes. I just got interested in the art of TC and was in my local toy store and low and behold there sat a G2 Contender. It had a 14" .22 LR Match barrel with a 2.5x TC scope. Oh yea it was a used gun. Yep, used.

I picked it up for $450. It was in excellent shape. I was very lucky my dealer told me because it was wo hard to get your hands on a new one. Waiting lists and all. I took it to my range and it is a tack driver at 50 yards!!!

Now to start my collection of barrels, heheheheh!

thats the barrel i got on my G2 new. they sure are fun,accurate shooters! try some wolf match target, and federal 38gr hp, or 40 gr solids in it. mine has shot less than 1/2" 5 shot groups at 50 yards. i wonder if the G2 is easier to get as a complete gun? last fall, i didn't have to wait long at all after ordering it as a complete outfit.

Thanks KenTN,
I am having a ball with my G2. It shoots great and I am really getting the TC bug bad. Got a .30-30 barrel from a friend that needs some work on the rust -- but will make a great hunting barrel.

I am just waiting till this weekend for the local gun show. Hope I don't make a fool out of myself and go into a buy frenzy, hehehe! < !--color-->
