Thompson Center Contendor with 410 Herter's TSS #9
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- It's officially spring here in Michigan and we're Super Excited about that !! I bought this Thompson Center Contendor G1 15+ years ago. It came with multiple barrels. I had never shot the 45LC/.410 barrel until now. I just had to see how it performed with the Herter's TSS ammo. We were impressed with the results from this combo but we'll let you be the judge. I may just give it a try this spring Turkey season.
Good luck this turkey season!
Thanks for watching !!

I do most my hunting with TC Contender and Encore. They are a blast to shoot. Started my TC collection about 10 years ago and now I’m addict to them. Just bought a MGM 357 max barrel to deer hunt with here in Illinois next season means we can use straight walled cartridges in rifle length now. Good luck turkey hunting. Would be awesome to see you take a tom with your contender!
Thanks for watching and good luck this season ! 👍🏻
I have the Taurus Judge with the 6.5” barrel that I had a choke tube installed. It’s a killer at 25 to 30 yards! Note: It voided the Taurus warranty but I have never had a problem with the gun. That Thompson is a cool handgun!
That Taurus with the mod sounds awesome! Thanks for watching and commenting buddy
Be Careful shooting TSS out of your Contender 45/410 , the choke has straight rifling to stop the spin of wad from the spin of the twist rifling . The choke is very thin at the beginning of the choke before the straight rifling . I shot a number of TSS loads though my Contender and when I took choke out it was tight and when I got it out it had a split in it . TSS doesn't compress like lead does and I think that's what happened .
I have 17 Contender frames and 56 barrels . I've been shooting Contenders for about 48 yrs.
Keep the Great Videos Coming !
Stay Safe & Healthy !
God Bless !
Wow ! Thanks for sharing 👍🏻
Looks like fun to me. I love .410s. Good luck hunting this year
Thanks Karl ! 👍🏻
Good luck with your hunt mine starts the 5 th of May here in Wisconsin
Good luck this season! 👍🏻
I love my Contenders! I have a .357 Remington Max barrel that I got for the shotgun zone. That .410 is great for small game!
That 357 Max looks to be a really solid round ! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Contenders are great guns with a lot of cool options. Good luck next weekend Ben hope you bag a nice Tom.
Thanks buddy! I had a couple Tom's give me the slip today. Hopefully I can get it done tomorrow
Very cool. I need a 410 might just have to look into one of them.
Fun to shoot. Ammo can be pricey. Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻
I have a SSK 405 Winchester barrel on my Contender. It’s a hand full. Good luck with the pistol!!
That sounds like a real handful ! Thanks for watching and good luck this season 👍🏻
Nice handgun!! Looks good at 10 yards for sure, and I am with you, don't think I would be trying 20 yards with it. Thanks for sharing. I remember those handguns, just never pulled the plug to buy one of them. Good luck Benny. Rained out today here in WV. I should have taken a few days off work this week when it was sunny and in the mid to upper 70's.
Sorry to hear you couldn't get out with the poor weather conditions. We froze our tails off today trying to knock down a gobbler. I had 2 toms give me the slip midday. Hopefully tomorrow I can get it done.
Those things are cool that you can change out the barrels and have multiple calibers.
Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻
Very nice Ben. I think you could use any of them. Good luck to you my friend hope ur successful
Thanks Dan ! Hope you're doing well bud!
Cool looking gun!
Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻
That would be pretty awesome to knock down a big gobbler with that thing!
Almost got the chance to drop the hammer on one today. Thanks for watching buddy 👍🏻
Iffin u seen my stuff I also own the Thompson center contender in .327 federal, .357 maximum, 44 rem mag, and the barrel you have. Except I rechambered it to 45-55 walker. I love the 410 bore but I want a 410 only smoothbore barrel with threads for interchangeable chokes. Maybe I'll find one someday.

Nice video, Benny, and a nice early T/C Contender. How many numbers are in that serial number (just a Contender researcher)?
Thanks for watching and commenting. I'll have to check. I'd speculate 5 or 6.
I think the muzzle tamers are pretty unnecessary. It took me a while to find a factory TC 45-70 pistol barrel with no muzzle break. It's not too bad even with max loads. The .410/45 barrel with the choke is about the coolest barrel you can get for a contender pistol.
Agreed! Thanks for watching 👍🏻
Like number 60. That pistol is awsome. Have you ever killed a deer with it?
Thanks for watching ! Yes, I've shot deer with it. Very fun to hunt with.
How about getting a 450 Bushmaster or a 350 Legend barrel for the TC?
That would be interesting! Thanks for watching and good luck this season 👍🏻
Is your barrel threaded for a “choke”?
Yes, it is.
