Hey,
I'm looking into getting a Thompson Contender Carbine (Encore?) and am wondering if anyone has any opinions/experiences with it? I'd like to be able to convert it to a pistol from time-to-time......
Probably get the rifle in .308, and pistol barrels in .22, .44 & maybe .223
Cheers
Evan

I don't own an Encore but have had a Contender for quite a few years. Great guns, you will not regret buying one.

I, also just have the Contender version - both with pistol barrels and carbine barrels. Always worked very well for me as long as the 40,000 PSI rule for any of the ammo loading isn't violated. The Encore models, naturally, will handle all of the loads up to 55,000 PSI with aplomb.

I have the Encore in pistol version chambered for 7mm/08. Wonderful gun, will do anything a 20" barrel rifle will do at reasonable ranges.
