I had an original Contender with the 14" bull barrel. It was a sub MOA gun with reloads, but pretty impractical without a rest. I doubt a 10" barrel would be a whole lot better for offhand shooting.
And spent cases were slightly raised out of the chamber, but not ejected.
And take it from experience, don't shoot steel ammo from it! I made that mistake and needed vice grips to extract the spent casing. Then, being a dumb 20 year old, I put another round of steel .223 in from a different box to see if the same thing would happen.
It did.
That one required a dowel rod and a hammer to get out the brass!!
