Auto-Ordnance 1927A-1 Deluxe Special Edition 45 ACP 18" 20rd Gold Carbine

Nearly a century after the original, the Auto-Ordnance 1927A-1 still turns heads at any range, and this Deluxe Special Edition leans all the way into it. The receiver is machined steel finished in black with titanium gold appointments, matched with a gold plated buttplate and genuine American walnut furniture, the vertical foregrip and buttstock that define the Thompson profile. Chambered in 45 ACP and feeding from a 20rd stick magazine, it runs as a semi automatic carbine with an 18 inch compensated barrel that keeps the classic silhouette while remaining a standard title rifle.

Shooting one is half the fun. The heavy steel and walnut soak up 45 ACP recoil to almost nothing, and a Thompson on the firing line draws a crowd every time. The gold treatment on this edition echoes the presentation guns of the gangster era without crossing into costume territory, since underneath it is the same carbine Auto-Ordnance has built for decades. As a display piece, a collection anchor, or the gun you bring out when friends visit, this is the dressed up version of an American legend.
