By the looks of your avitar I'm guessing you're a hound hunter.
Alot of the hound hunters over here in Idaho like the Contender's. Some buy the 14" handgun and put a rifle stock on it.
I'm not real sure of the legality of this set up, but I've handeled them and can tell ya "They're Lite Weight and Very Handy"



They are also illegal unless registered with the ATF as a short barrel weapon and the 200 buck fee's paid.



Lots of internet experts around "BOB".
That's why I said I wasn't sure of the legality.
I've been told that if it's bought (and serial numbered)as a handgun originaly, it's legal to put a rifle stock on.

It would be prudent to check the rules YOURSELF and not take any chances with experts. Or just get the 16" carbine.
Two more inches of a sporter weight barrel can't add that much weight.
I'll still say that for treed Lions, that little Contender is hard to beat, and plenty accurate.
