I've always wanted a contender, yesterday I found one private party for 450 so I snatched it up...it came with a .44 Magnum barrel equipped with a Williams peep sight, and also a .45lc barrel...
My question is will the .45lc (colt) barrel also accept a .410 shell without causing any issues? The barrel is only marked .45 colt, but a lot of info I found says that is common and shooting .410 threw it is fine..is this accurate info?
