Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
In 1965, K. W. Thompson Tool was seeking a product to manufacture, and gun designer Warren Center was looking for someone to build his Contender pistol. It was a perfect match. The facilities at K. W. Thompson Tool were expanded, and Thompson/Center Arms was formed. Two years later, the first Contender Pistol was shipped, marking the beginning of a trend in high-performance hunting handguns that continues to grow every year. To date, over 400,000 Contender pistols have been shipped, and the pistol’s reputation for versatility, accuracy, and dependability goes unchallenged among serious handgun shooters. Since the production of the initial Contender Pistol, the company has expanded its facilities and product line numerous times. In 1970, Thompson/Center entered the Black Powder market with the introduction of their first muzzleloading rifle, the Hawken. The Hawken rifle is generally shorter and of a larger caliber than earlier Kentucky Rifles. It was popular in the mid-nineteenth century.

The term "Hawken rifle" technically referred to rifles made by Jacob and Samuel Hawken of St Louis, Missouri, but was often used generically to refer to a variety of "plains rifles" of the period. The Thompson Center Hawken is a top-quality, American-made, muzzle-loading rifle featuring a superior percussion design. It is undoubtedly one of the most copied rifles in the history of firearms. The T/C Hawken was designed specifically for American shooters.
