The Thompson T1100D 1927A-1 Deluxe Carbine delivers the iconic firepower and reliability that made the Thompson submachine gun legendary, now in a semi-automatic carbine configuration. This 45 ACP platform combines classic American craftsmanship with modern manufacturing standards for collectors and shooting enthusiasts who demand authenticity.
What Makes This Different
Unlike generic carbines, the Thompson T1100D maintains the exact specifications and aesthetic of the original 1927A-1 military design. The 18-inch finned barrel provides superior accuracy compared to shorter variants, while the traditional blued finish and American walnut furniture deliver museum-quality appearance. This carbine accepts both 20-round stick magazines and 100-round drum magazines, offering versatility unavailable in standard semi-automatic rifles.
