For over a century, the legendary Chicago Typewriter has captured the imagination of collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike. The Kahr Arms Thompson, produced by Auto-Ordnance, continues this storied legacy with its 1927A-1 Deluxe Carbine model.
This .45 caliber carbine boasts a frame and receiver expertly machined from solid steel paired seamlessly with genuine American walnut woodwork. The craftsmanship is evident in every detail—from its robust construction to the rich finish of its materials.
The centerpiece of this firearm is undoubtedly its 16.5-inch finned barrel equipped with a Cutts Compensator. This feature not only enhances muzzle velocity when using factory .45 ACP ammunition but also significantly reduces both actual and perceived recoil—a boon for control during rapid fire sequences.
The Thompson’s impressive weight distribution—at approximately thirteen pounds—contributes to managing recoil effectively while delivering precision shot after shot. This makes it an ideal choice not only for historical display but also practical use on the range.
The Kahr Arms Thompson stands as more than just another firearm; it represents a piece of American history reimagined through modern engineering excellence—for those who appreciate both heritage and performance in their weaponry.
