Possible danger with Contender
This is my very first TC Contender, although I do have plenty of experience with the Encore. During my last range trip, one problem I had was that the trigger stop set screw was giving me fits. This has been fixed. The problem was that I noticed once when I forgot to lower the hammer that it released when I opened the gun. When I got home I took some empty, but primed shells and tried to replicate it. To my horror, it not only drops the hammer the second you touch the release, it puts a pretty good, although shallow dent in the primer. Even with that, it did not set off any primer in 15 attempts. This seems like a serious design flaw.
Has anyone ever had a problem with a Contender going off out of battery like this?
