| Contender in a movie
Will wonders never cease. Last evening I watched a Jean Claude Van Damme movie...a wild shoot-em up. The main bad guy used a TC Contender pistol. For me, that was a first. Don't know what caliber but it resembled a .458...I had to snicker cause it had absolutely zero recoil. |

I remember that movie, and I think you are right. I believe it was a .45-70. I guess it helps when you are shooting blanks.

I've yet to see a Van Damme movie that isn't a waste of electricity

When I hear of a TC in 45-70 I'm amused, and would like to see someone shooting one... ...the recoil would be intense, a real wrist breaker if you weren't careful.

| I have a 14" barrel 45-70 it has some recoil but not as hard as my Ruger 454 Casull.You really have to keep the 45-70 loads down to Trapdoor levels or its may stretch your frame.

| I've fired the 45/70 from a 10" barrell and it was a hefty recoil but not a wrist breaker. I've been looking for one but they don't make'em for the original model.
