Description
Few firearms turn heads at the range like a Thompson, and the Auto-Ordnance 1927A1 Deluxe is the real deal from the company that has carried the Tommy Gun name for over a century. This semi-auto carbine keeps all the classic details that made the original famous: the finned barrel, the pinned Cutts-style compensator, the vertical foregrip, and that unmistakable profile straight out of the Roaring Twenties. The receiver is machined from solid steel and wears a deep blued finish, while the fixed buttstock, pistol grip, and foregrip are all genuine American walnut. Nothing about this rifle feels like a cheap reproduction, because it is not one.
Shooting the Thompson 1927A1 Deluxe
Chambered in .45 ACP, the 1927A1 sends 230 grain bullets downrange with surprisingly gentle manners. At around 13 pounds of walnut and steel, the rifle soaks up recoil so well that fast follow-up shots feel effortless, and the long sight radius over the 16.5 inch finned barrel makes ringing steel at 50 yards a genuinely easy afternoon. The permanently attached compensator brings the measured barrel length to 18 inches, with an overall length of 41 inches from buttpad to muzzle. A blade front sight pairs with the rear battle sight, and the manual thumb safety sits right where your hand expects it.
A Tommy Gun Built for Collectors and Range Days Alike
This model ships with a single 10-round stick magazine, and it feeds full-size .45 ACP with the reliability you would expect from a heavy, all-steel platform. Whether you are a history buff who has always wanted the gun from the newsreels, a collector rounding out a classics safe, or just someone who wants the most fun rifle at the range on Saturday, the 1927A1 Deluxe delivers. Guns like this do not get built much anymore. Solid steel, real walnut, and a design that has been iconic for a hundred years make this one of those purchases you never second-guess.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Thompson 1927A1 fully automatic like the original Tommy Gun?
No, this is a semi-automatic rifle, so it fires one round per trigger pull. Auto-Ordnance builds it to capture the look, feel, and heft of the original, but with a carbine-length barrel and semi-auto action. You get all the character of the classic without any of the paperwork headaches that come with the originals.
Why is the barrel listed as both 16.5 and 18 inches?
The finned portion of the barrel measures 16.5 inches, and the permanently pinned compensator on the muzzle extends the measured barrel length to 18 inches. That puts the overall length of the carbine at 41 inches. It is a small detail, but worth understanding when you compare Thompson models.
What magazines does the Thompson 1927A1 Deluxe T110S come with and accept?
This model ships with one 10-round stick magazine. It runs Thompson-pattern stick magazines, and Auto-Ordnance sells additional sticks if you want spares for range day. Extra mags are a smart pickup, since 10 rounds of .45 ACP goes quick when you are having this much fun.
How heavy is the Thompson 1927A1 and how does it shoot?
It weighs right around 13 pounds thanks to the solid steel receiver and full walnut furniture. That weight is a big part of why it shoots so well, since it soaks up the .45 ACP recoil and keeps the muzzle flat for quick follow-up shots. Most folks find it accurate and easy to control out to 50 yards and beyond.
