The Auto-Ordnance Thompson 1927A-1 Deluxe case hardened .45 ACP carbine (brand part no. ZT1CH) pairs the classic Tommy gun layout with a case hardened finish edition. Auto-Ordnance and Kahr Arms build the .45 ACP Thompson line in Worcester, Massachusetts, and this Deluxe carbine carries a finned 16.5-inch barrel with a compensator, a walnut stock and a vertical foregrip. It is supplied with a 20-round stick magazine. For a collector or range shooter, it is a semi-automatic way to own the period look.
