Seems to me that I heard about S&W selling off the TC
tooling/machines about 2-3, maybe 4-5, years ago. Time seems to fly by now. But they certainly didn't do much with it. Prices have increased for since then and complete original Contender guns are actually finding buyers at the $800-1000 range. People are buying barrels for $450 before tax and shipping. SSK-50 frames might bring frame prices down, slightly, as they are going to have to sell for about $395 or so (in the near future)...
Sorry, you got me started. I don't think I'm the only one getting excited about Contenders again.
