Thompson Contender: .22LR

[Sir Henry]

We stopped at a lgs here in TX and I saw an unfired TC NIB for under $500. Don’t know if that was a good price but not being a TX resident I couldn’t buy it. It would be possible to have it sent home to an FFL dealer but that would add shipping and $100 for the transfer and sales tax again.

That's a reasonable price. An good condition Contender rig - frame and barrel - usually runs about $450, depending on the specific barrel. Contenders are getting a bit hard to find, now, as are any specialty pistols. Their forte has always been hunting and silhouette, which account for a low percentage of handgun sales, these days. If you ever do find one you want to buy, you know who to ask if you have questions.

If in the Houston area, let me know!!

I was thinking you might reply. If it was in Washington I would give you a call.

I don’t think I’ll be going that far south. Bummer.
