Few firearms turn heads at the range like a Thompson, and the Auto-Ordnance TA510D 1927A-1 Deluxe brings that iconic silhouette to the pistol side of the counter. Chambered in .45 ACP just like the original, it runs a 10.5 inch finned barrel and feeds from a U.S.-manufactured 10-round drum magazine built as close to the original drawings as modern production allows. Since Kahr Arms took over the Auto-Ordnance name in 1999, they have dug into original engineering drawings and military microfiche dating back to 1919 to keep these guns faithful to the real thing.
The big story here is the receiver. Where the classic Thompson was famous for being a boat anchor, this Deluxe pistol uses a blackened aluminum receiver that trims the package down to right around 5 pounds. That makes it far more pleasant to hold on target with the walnut horizontal foregrip, and the soft-recoiling nature of .45 ACP out of a gun this size means follow-up shots come back quick. Overall length runs 23.3 inches, and the 1:16 twist barrel stabilizes standard 230 grain ball just like it should.
Auto-Ordnance did not cut corners on the character. You get the finned barrel, polished American walnut grip and foregrip, a blade front sight paired with an adjustable rear, and current production ships with the squared style bolt handle. The included drum loads to 10 rounds for an easy 10+1 on tap, and it locks in with that same satisfying feel collectors know from the originals.
This is the kind of gun people buy because they want a piece of American firearms history they can shoot instead of just look at. It makes a fantastic range companion, a conversation starter, and a centerpiece for any collection built around classic designs. Feed it quality .45 ACP, take your time loading the drum, and enjoy one of the most recognizable firearms ever made.
Both are 10.5 inch barrel .45 ACP Thompson pistols with walnut furniture, but the magazine is the main difference. The TA510D ships with a 10-round drum, while the standard TA5 comes with a 50-round drum. The TA510D also uses the lightweight aluminum receiver, keeping weight right around 5 pounds.
Yes. The included 10-round drum is manufactured entirely in the U.S., and Auto-Ordnance builds it to specs as close to the original Thompson drum design as possible. It gives the pistol that classic Tommy Gun look while keeping capacity at 10+1.
Thanks to the aluminum receiver, this pistol comes in at roughly 5 pounds, which is dramatically lighter than the 10-plus pound originals. That makes it much easier to hold steady off hand using the walnut horizontal foregrip. Recoil with .45 ACP in a gun this size is very soft, so it is a genuinely fun shooter.
It wears a fixed blade front sight paired with an adjustable rear, which is a faithful nod to the original Thompson setup. The rear adjusts for elevation so you can dial in your preferred .45 ACP load. For a pistol like this, they are well suited to range work and plinking at typical handgun distances.
