IN THE FIELD: How the G2 Compares

The T/C Contender has come along way since being introduced five decades ago. Today’s hunters love the G2 for its increased customizability, hunting accuracy and range in caliber. The modern Contender is also easier to open, allows for more clearance between the new ergonomic grip and the trigger guard, and allows shooters to cock the hammer, lower it, and re-cock without the need to break the action open again.

By simply pulling up and back on the trigger guard spur, you can open the G2 action to load and unload the chamber.

Choose from blued or stainless steel. Blued and stainless steel barrels are readily interchangeable on any G2 frame.

Wide grooves in Hammer Spur produce a  positive grip.

G2 is equipped with a Manual Firing Pin Selector, allowing for use of rimfire or centerfire barrels on the same frame.
