AUTO-ORDANANCE - THOMPSON T1 1927A-1 DELUXE - 45ACP - 16.5" - 10+1 - CA LEGAL
Our selection of Auto-Ordnance Tommy guns are made CA compliant by utilizing featureless accessories such as grip wraps. The pictures do not always represent CA Compliance because stock images are used from the manufacturer. Regardless, all semi-automatic firearms shipped within California or other restrictive states will be made compliant prior to shipping. This process usually adds a few extra days to your order so anticipate starting DROS or the background check at your local dealer 5-10 business days after submitting an order.
OVERVIEW: THOMPSON 1927A-1
For more than 100 years, the “Chicago Typewriter®”, the time-honored submachine gun, has been a favorite among collectors and shooting enthusiasts.
The .45 ACP caliber Thompson 1927A-1 has a pinned Cutts compensator, which lengthens the finned barrel length to 18”, and puts the overall length for the carbine at 41” from buttstock to muzzle. The Tommy Gun is available with a blued steel receiver (T1 models). They have a blade front and open rear adjustable sight. The fixed stock is crafted in luxurious polished American Walnut.
The Thompson T1-14 models with a barrel length of just 16.5”, it is 1.5” shorter than the existing T1 models with the 18” barrels. The BATFE recently approved the permanently affixed Cutts compensator as a part of the 16.5” barrel. The pinned Cutts compensator offered on the 18” barrel models are not considered part of the barrel.
The Thompson T1-C “Commando” model features parkerized steel and all wood stock, rear grip and horizontal foregrip in a durable black finish.
The Thompson T1B model comes with a detachable buttstock with vertical foregrip. The overall length is 41” but it becomes 31.5″ when the buttstock is detached from the frame.

Dillinger's Choice
While Auto Ordnance was selling the Thompson submachine gun on the open market in the ’20s, Gen. Thompson was uncomfortably aware of what the guns could do if in the wrong hands. To his distress, the submachine gun turned out to be the weapon chosen by gangsters.
The “Tommy Gun” gun, literally, made the ’20s roar. Possessing tremendous firepower, the Thompson submachine gun was an effective weapon. The Thompson was used by gangsters, such as Al Capone, John Dillinger and Baby Face Nelson.
Trusted Companion for Troops
It was, also, in the mid ’20s that the Thompson submachine gun was adopted for service by an official military branch of the government. The U.S. Coast Guard issued Thompsons to patrol boats along the eastern seaboard. In 1928, Auto Ordnance made a new Navy model to be used by Marines on Naval gunboats.
World War II began, and the Army recognized the need for the submachine gun. The Thompson, simplified and more durable with the butt stock removed and a 30 round stick magazine, became the constant companion of American soldiers. Story, after story, tells how it was the fire of the Thompson submachine gun that protected the villages, saved the troops and won the battles in Europe and the Pacific.
