The Pachmayr Thompson/Center Contender forend with adapter transforms how you manage recoil on one of the most versatile single-shot hunting handguns available. The T/C Contender packs serious stopping power, but controlling that kick is essential for accuracy and shooter comfort—especially during extended range sessions or hunting trips where follow-up shots matter. Pachmayr's purpose-built forend solution addresses that head-on with proven rubber grip technology designed specifically for this platform.
This forend combines functional design with recoil management. The rubber construction features a patented air pocket recoil chamber that absorbs impact energy, reducing felt recoil and muzzle jump between shots. The deep checkered finish provides a secure, tactile grip even when your hands are wet or cold—critical when you're in the field and need confidence in your hold. The forend geometry supports a natural, stable shooting position that helps you stay on target and shoot more accurately.
Pachmayr offers this forend in multiple configurations to match your preferences and recoil tolerance. Choose the Presentation Style for a clean, no-frills look without finger grooves, the Gripper style with pronounced finger grooves for enhanced control, or the Decelerator Gripper option if you want maximum recoil absorption and grip security combined. Note that this forend is not compatible with the T/C Contender G2 platform. The included adapter ensures proper fit and secure attachment to your Contender frame.
