In 1995, Larry Weishuhn shot the first Encore handgun and has been the number one fan of T/C’s Encore and Pro Hunter ever since. Long before that, Larry established himself as one of America’s leading whitetail authorities and hunting personalities, earning him the moniker of “Mr. Whitetail”. When Larry teamed up with T/C designers to help conceptualize the Encore platform, his insight proved invaluable. He was the first person in North America to kill big game with the Encore Handgun. Since then, Larry can be seen any day of the week on Versus, the Outdoor Channel or ESPN2, hunting around the world with his Encore or Pro Hunter Handgun.
To honor Larry Weishuhn and his commitments to both T/C and handgun hunting in the U.S., Thompson/Center is proud to introduce the limited edition signature Encore Pro Hunter handgun in .308. (Also available #5751 460 S&W) Featuring his signature and personal logo, the handgun package also includes Pachmayr® grips, and Nikon® Encore® 2.5-8x28 T/C scope, walnut display case and a T/C soft case with extra barrel pouch.
Available in September 2010.

Pro Hunter™ features a rotating hammer design called the “Swing Hammer”® that can be off-set to allow easy access to the hammer spur. This innovative design is patent-pending and addresses the concern about reaching the hammer when the rifle is scoped. The hammer is keyed to allow the spur to be placed in the center, left hand or right hand positions.
