My Pop is a big Contender fan and has run across the same problem a few times with different barrels. That has always ben his only complaint is that the Contenders can be hard to break open.

I think it is a common problem, and it should wear in with use....try breaking it over your knee like a stick of wood! The old Contenders have such a nice trigger pull that it's worth the annoyance of a hard to open action. I've heard of a few guys gooking it full of Colgate toothpaste (no kidding) and working it for an evening while watching TV. Wash it out in the sink, dry it, and oil it really well to protect it.


I have an Encore pistol that just drops open with a little tug on the trigger guard, but the old Contenders are SOOO nice on the trigger pull!
