History & Heritage
Founded in 1965 by K.W. Thompson and Warren Center in Rochester, New Hampshire, the company began when Center developed a unique break-action, single-shot pistol in his basement. This design became the iconic Contender pistol, introduced in 1967, which quickly gained popularity among handgun hunters for its interchangeable barrels and superb accuracy. In 1970, the company revolutionized the black powder market by introducing the Hawken-style muzzleloader. After a period of ownership under Smith & Wesson, Thompson/Center returned to its roots as an independent company in 2024 under the leadership of Gregg Ritz, continuing its legacy of American-made innovation.

Some of Thompson/Center's most notable product lines include the versatile Encore ProHunter, the legendary Contender, and their historic Hawken muzzleloaders.
