TC went kaput, S&W let 'em die and no one wanted to resurrect them. Then SSK brought out their new "Cloned Contender" frames, supposed to be "New and Improved" and just started getting out to the folks who pre-ordered them way back when. As this and Leverguns are the only forums I tend to infest, I'd not heard about the SSK until friends on Facebook started chatting about them. Reports (so far) are uniformly positive. I've wanted a singleshot pistol for ages, but never had the shekels to procure one (still don't, but am saving up). Took at look at the CVA version (non-interchangeable barrels -IIRC) but nothing really tickled my fancy (their break action rifle, on the other hand, is a dandy- in 35 Whelen it's the only rifle that's ever managed to give me scope brow). So the Contender's dead, long live the SSK-50!
