The Thompson T1C 1927A-1 Commando Carbine delivers the iconic firepower of the legendary Thompson submachine gun in a modern semi-automatic platform. This 45 ACP carbine combines historical design elements with contemporary manufacturing standards for reliable performance. The 16.5-inch barrel provides optimal velocity while maintaining maneuverability in close quarters.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard pistol caliber carbines, the Thompson T1C features the distinctive Cutts compensator and finned barrel design that made the original Thompson famous. The black Parkerized finish provides superior corrosion resistance compared to standard blued finishes. The fixed stock design eliminates the complexity of adjustable mechanisms while providing consistent cheek weld and length of pull.
