Thompson contender

[contender buff]

Go with the calibers you like, they are all fun especially if you reload. Many barrels are like hens teeth these days and good luck with your endeavor.

25-20 wcf is a fun caliber. Works well as a subsonic or supersonic.

I happened on a 25-35 and really like it.
A bit of a PITA to form brass but learned about the necessity of annealing.

Country boy, if you reload you should look into one of the Herrett barrels
They can be loaded mild to wild!

358 alpo? Is that what the ATF uses to gun down scruffy?

@benenglish You loved this? You said you hate (or something along that line) Contenders.

I loved the recommendation. If you own a T/C, it's mandatory to have a .22LR barrel. And .30 Carbine is a truly sweet round from a 10" bbl.

I still hate T/C Contenders for all the reasons I've outlined in the past. But for folks who like them I'm happy to recognize when someone posts sage advice.

I won't say I have any sage advice, but I did get a (small) kick out of the .30 Carbine barrel. It goes along with my .30 Carbine Blackhawk and M1 Carbines.
I reserve the right to tease you about Contenders, but I probably won't do it.
