Need help identifying what Contender I have. The pictures shows it to be a slick side contender
In 44 mag (10") with a 2 to 6 Bushnell.
Serial number is 185 ###. Has push through firing pin selector.

Do me a favor? Look at the front of the hammer please. If I'm thinking right, you will see a slot for a flathead screwdriver, which is how you actually select CF or RF. The push through tab you're looking at is the safety, IIRC.
I passed my last psych eval, how bout you?
It does have the screw head.
Thanks

Looks like an early flatside frame. Ive got a later TCA flatside that is an easy open frame. Nice score! Ive always liked the look of the flatsides better than the cat sides.
I was a dog on a short chain.
Now there's no chain.

That's my preferred Contender model. I use one for hunting from a tree stand and the extra safety in the hammer is sweet. I can leave the hammer cocked while I sit. Especially convenient with a scope where the hammer is more difficult to thumb, and it's quiet. It's a worthless feature at the range, but great for hunting.
Years ago some guys used that hammer safety for dry firing. and soon turned it
into a mushroom making the hammer useless.
how much you have to give for something like that these days????
Any technology not understood, can seem like Magic!!!
I will love the Lord with all my heart, all my soul, and all my mind.
I've never been a contender fan, but I do remember that was about the price of one in the early 1980s. So you got a good deal!

Glad I haven’t lost all my marbles, yet. That is a great gun. Mine is the version after this with the selector on top of the hammer. Hope yours shoots at least as well as mine.
