The Auto-Ordnance Thompson 1927A1 Deluxe is a semi-auto carbine chambered in .45 ACP, finished in hard-chrome plating for a bright, distinctive look (brand part no. T150DCR). Auto-Ordnance builds this carbine as their most popular configuration, reproducing the classic Thompson platform with a fixed genuine American walnut stock and a 16.5-inch finned barrel compensator that helps tame muzzle rise. It ships with both a 50-round drum magazine and a 20-round stick magazine, giving shooters the classic drum-fed look or a slimmer, faster-handling profile. At roughly 13 pounds with a 41-inch overall length, it has the substantial, authentic feel Thompson collectors expect, backed by a blade front sight and adjustable rear sight for practical accuracy. Collectors, range enthusiasts, and history buffs alike choose this Deluxe hard-chrome model for its head-turning finish and dependable semi-auto operation.
