Auto-Ordnance Thompson TA5 Deluxe Pistol, .45 ACP

The Auto-Ordnance Thompson TA5 Deluxe pistol in .45 ACP (brand part no. TA510D) brings the classic Tommy Gun profile to a lightweight, semi-automatic-only pistol build with a 10-round drum magazine styled after the original 1920s drums. Kahr Arms cuts the barrel to 10.5 inches and outfits the pistol with a blade front sight and an adjustable rear sight for precise aim. Like every semi-automatic pistol, it fires one round per trigger pull, so the drum-style magazine is strictly a period-correct look rather than a full-auto feature. Shipping weight comes in at 20.3 pounds. Among AR pistols, the Thompson TA5 Deluxe favors collectors and range shooters who want an iconic silhouette in a modern, compliant pistol.
