The Thompson Center Arms Contender G2 in 45 Colt delivers single-shot precision with the versatility of interchangeable barrels. This break-action pistol combines traditional craftsmanship with modern manufacturing to create a platform that excels in hunting, target shooting, and handloading experimentation.

What Makes This Different

The Contender G2 features an improved trigger mechanism that reduces pull weight by 25% compared to the original Contender design. The break-action system allows for quick barrel changes without tools, transforming one frame into multiple specialized firearms. This 10-inch barrel configuration maximizes velocity from the 45 Colt cartridge while maintaining manageable weight and balance.

Key Features

  • Single-shot break-action design with tool-free barrel interchange system
  • 10-inch blued steel barrel with 1:16 twist rate optimized for 45 Colt
  • Adjustable target sights with micro-click windage and elevation
  • Drilled and tapped receiver accepts scope mounts and red dot optics
  • Ambidextrous hammer extension for enhanced cocking leverage
  • Walnut grip and forend with checkered surfaces for secure handling
  • Compatible with all Contender and G2 barrels in various calibers
The 45 Colt chambering handles everything from light target loads to heavy hunting ammunition, making this configuration suitable for silhouette competition, small game hunting, and recreational shooting. The break-action design eliminates extraction issues common with revolvers when using heavy loads or cast bullets. Weather-resistant finish protects against moisture and handling wear during extended field use.
