Few firearms turn heads like a Thompson, and the 1927A-1 Deluxe Carbine in hard chrome takes it a step further. Auto-Ordnance builds these in Worcester, Massachusetts as faithful semi-auto tributes to the original Chicago Typewriter, and this version wraps all that history in a bright chrome plated finish set against genuine polished American walnut. The fixed buttstock and vertical foregrip give it that unmistakable silhouette you know from the movies, while the finned barrel and pinned Cutts style compensator round out the classic look.
The compensator brings the finned barrel out to 18 inches, putting overall length at 41 inches from buttplate to muzzle. At around 13 pounds, this is a substantial carbine, and that weight works in your favor at the range. Combined with the soft-recoiling .45 ACP cartridge, it shoots smooth and stays planted, which makes ripping through a drum a genuinely fun afternoon. The action runs from a closed bolt, a practical update that helps with accuracy while keeping the character of the original intact. A blade front sight pairs with an adjustable open rear for lining up your shots.
Auto-Ordnance includes two magazines with this model: a 20-round stick and a 50-round drum. The stick mag keeps things handy for casual plinking, while the drum completes the period-correct look and stretches out your time between reloads. Plenty of owners pick this one up as a collectible centerpiece, then find themselves shooting it far more than they planned. The chrome and walnut combination photographs beautifully and stands out in any safe.
Whether you're a history buff, a collector filling a gap, or just someone who appreciates American walnut and bright metalwork done right, this carbine delivers. It's a working firearm with real presence, built by the company that carries the original Thompson name forward. Bring quality brass-cased ammo, take your time, and enjoy one of the most recognizable guns ever made.
No, this is a semi-automatic carbine that fires one round per trigger pull. It runs from a closed bolt, which is a change from the original design but tends to help accuracy. It gives you the look and feel of the classic Thompson in a modern semi-auto package.
This model ships with two magazines: a 20-round stick mag and a 50-round drum. The drum really completes the classic Tommy Gun look, while the stick is quicker to load and easier to handle for everyday range trips. Spare Thompson stick and drum magazines are also available separately if you want extras.
Stick with quality brass-cased .45 ACP. Auto-Ordnance specifically warns against steel-cased ammunition in their Thompson long guns, so it's worth avoiding. Standard 230-grain FMJ ball ammo is a natural fit and keeps things running the way the platform was designed.
It weighs right around 13 pounds, which is true to the original design. That heft soaks up the already mild recoil of .45 ACP, so it's a remarkably smooth and pleasant carbine to shoot. It's more of a range and collection piece than a gun you'd carry all day in the field.
