Thompson/Center Makes A Comeback In 2025​

Once upon a time, there was a firearms manufacturer that was basically built by, and built for, the fudd market. Then Smith & Wesson bought it and closed it down after seemingly not knowing what to do with it. That company was Thompson/Center, and guess what—they’re back for 2025.

They made some quality side hammers in the day.

Read the article at TFB and signed up just to leave a comment. I thought being a "Fudd" was bad. This clown got a problem with single shot rifles and handguns?

Hi,

So many guns. So little time, and money.


Thank you for your indulgence,

I used the T/C contender mostly when I shot silhouette, used one along with the 7mmTCU, those were great single shot guns, also had the barrel for the 375JDJ…..big cannon

The contender was amazingly versatile. A guy i worked with had i have no idea how many barrels. He used it on everything from Squirrels and rabbits to bear in Alaska.

I took my first deer with a handgun using a 14” .30-30 Contender.
