Greetings. Does anyone have info on BP barrels for the T/C Contender? I believe they used to make 209x50 bbls for Contender, but now make them only for Encore. Did they batter the frames that badly?

I know Gonic makes BP pistol bbls for Contender. Are they worth the money?

Does a 14" bbl lose so much velocity that it's not even worth using on deer?

I have a Contender and would like to take advantage of the BP season for deer in Oklahoma, but don't know where quite to begin. Any advice appreciated.
