They look cool! My buddy and I got into big handguns and bought contenders. I am hooked and have 4 now but the one I really like is the 30-30 Contender, recoil is not too bad. My buddy is a big boy and likes big toys so he got a 45-70 and while the stock loads weren't too bad, the 550 handloads for silohuette shooting threw a 2 ring mounted scope OFF after about 15 rounds and were a real handful (read painful)to shoot barehanded without gloves on. I will bet those 440 grain rounds will not be real fun to shoot!

 

i shot some of the 400gn loads by corbon and they are stout to say the least. about the locker and unlocker i have no complaints except for the one mentioned earlier about the plastic block on the unlocker slipping off. about the clutch it delays engagement of the drive clutch untill the motor is making more power and it really helps with the outlaws im running
