The Thompson TA5 1927A-1 Lightweight Deluxe delivers the iconic Tommy Gun experience in a modern semi-automatic platform chambered in 45 ACP. This faithful reproduction combines classic 1920s styling with contemporary manufacturing standards and reliability. The 10.5-inch barrel provides optimal velocity for the 45 ACP cartridge while maintaining the compact profile that made the original Thompson legendary.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic reproductions, the TA5 features a lightweight aluminum receiver that reduces overall weight by 30% compared to steel variants while maintaining structural integrity. The hard coat anodized finish provides superior corrosion resistance over standard bluing. The authentic American walnut furniture matches original specifications, and the included 50-round drum magazine replicates the feeding system that gave the Thompson its distinctive firepower advantage.Key Features
