(GunReports.com) — Gun Tests Contributing Editor Roger Eckstine takes a quick look at the Thompson 1927A-1 Deluxe Pistol TA5100D.
After a long hiatus and great demand, the Thompson Pistol has returned to the market. The Thompson Deluxe Pistol TA5100D has a 10.5″ barrel length and a walnut, horizontal foregrip.
Included with the Thompson TA5100D is one of the most famous accessories, the 100-round drum magazine. The authentic drum is entirely U.S. manufactured to the specifications that are as close as possible to the original. A 30-round stick, 10-round and 50-round drum magazine are optional.
Since 1999, Kahr Arms has been proud to support the legacy of the Auto-Ordnance Corporation, the original maker of the famous Thompson submachine gun. To ensure the historical accuracy of the Auto-Ordnance design, Kahr researched the original engineering drawings. Hundreds of U.S. military microfiche and hand drawings of the Thompson models dating back to 1919 were examined.
Thompson was carried by the gangsters in the 20’s and trusted by the troops in WWII. Find out how it feels to carry a piece of history before legislature and politics put this design back on the shelf.
