The original Contender G1 stainless frame on this pistol is factory engraved with scrollwork and T/C's cougar emblem in circular cartouches on the sideplates, adding a distinctive factory touch. The S-prefix serial range aligns with late stainless G1 production around 1999.
The 14-inch Super 14 barrel is a heavy bull-profile stainless tube chambered in .223 Rem. This configuration balances weight forward for steady aim and keeps the sights mounted on the barrel, consistent with the Contender design.
The Contender's modular barrel system allows caliber and barrel swaps while retaining the sighting system on each barrel. This barrel includes a ramped front sight and an adjustable rear sight for precise alignment.
Operation is single-shot, break-open with a trigger-guard opening lever. The external hammer features a firing-pin selector for rimfire or centerfire use, and the pistol wears a black synthetic fore-end and a black rubber finger-groove grip with a TC butt cap.
