After four business days and five calender days of waiting on Va. state police to get off their collective buttocks and get to my 4473, I finally got the call this morning.
Right outa' th' box.

Congrats!!!
Precision in the wrong place is only a placebo.
I like it Jim! Appears to be in good condition too. Let us know how she shoots. I'm curious whether you'll leave the bipod mount like it is.
Having never owned a contender I cannot say this is true for them, but in my experience, mounting a bipod on the barrel is counterproductive when it comes to accuracy.
Give us this day our daily lead.

I'd kinda' like to look into a bipod system of some description that mounts a little farther aft. I'd love to find a bipod that's easily and quickly detachable and I'd like to put the swivel stud in the fore grip, too. And people in.....nevermind.
There are bipods that mount to the forearm.

Definitely put one on the forearm. In Texas we do not have a wait if we have a concealed handgun license. Pay and out the door.
If you want to see alot of options go to Speciality Pistols website. Just lock your wallet in the safe first.
I have a Contender that I made a wider and longer foreend for and use a Harris bipod on it. I have actually gone back to a wood grip because it is longer. I then use a small square leather bag under the grip and squeeze the bag for elevation changes off the bench. Two wooden wedges will also work. This really improved the accuracy. enough so I had the confidence to take a 255 yards shot at an antelope in 2010, which was successful.
On SP look for XPhunter, this is Ernie, the guy that took me on the antelope hunt. He is a preacher in Gillette and a great long range pistol shot. he starts his practice at 500 or 600 yards.
I've done the same with my Encore pistol and have gotten great accuracy out to 500 yards. Have to find the time to stretch it out farther.
Used to was, no more that a year ago, it took the State Police almost no time to clear a person. Since my name is Smith it typically took me an hour. This past week it took a full four days! The Armory tells me that this is normal now.

That is a beautiful gun!
Boolits !!!!! Does that mean what I think it do? It do!
Same thing here, Wayne. My dealer is in the 'traveling circus' crowd. He works the gun shows. He said VSP has now gone to working on applications from the gun shows ONLY on Fridays through Sundays, then trys to play catch-up the rest of the week with regular gun shop apps.Originally Posted by Wayne Smith
Yup, picked it up Mon nite. Check your e-mail.

Just curious. What do the State Police have to do with buying a gun?
Bill
If it was easy, anybody could do it.
They verify identity. With all the problems Mayor Bloomberg caused Virginia gun dealers we have more scrutiny now than before. Remember these are handguns. I can walk out with a rifle or shotgun.

Exactly right.
Oh my Jim that is a pretty gun! What caliber?
"Is all this REALLY necessary?"
.223, 12" ported bull SS
Now that is a manly handgun, no wimpy 9mm, .357 Mag., or .45 ACP something that will reach out and touch something.

When you get around to it Jim let us know how it shoots with copper clad bullets .
When I think back on all the **** I learned in high school it's a wonder I can think at all ! And then my lack of education hasn't hurt me none I can read the writing on the wall.
not VA. but NC I had to get a permit from the county sheriff to buy my handguns.
