For over a century, the Thompson Submachine Gun, affectionately known as the "Chicago Typewriter," has captured the imagination of collectors and shooting enthusiasts alike. This iconic firearm is available in two distinct models: the T1 with its robust steel receiver and the lighter T5 featuring an aluminum receiver.
The Thompson 1927A1 DLX stands out with its classic design paired with modern functionality. At its core lies a .45 ACP caliber, ensuring that each shot delivers substantial stopping power. The weapon's barrel measures 16.5 inches and extends to 18 inches when fitted with a compensator, providing improved accuracy and recoil management.
This model features a traditional walnut fixed stock complemented by a vertical foregrip for superior handling stability. Sights include a blade front sight combined with an open rear adjustable sight—adjustable for elevation only—allowing shooters to fine-tune their aim across varied distances.
A hallmark of this deluxe package is its magazine capacity—it includes both a formidable 100-round drum magazine and an additional 20-round stick magazine. With these options at your disposal, you can experience extended shooting sessions without frequent reloads.
The overall length of this firearm is 41 inches, making it manageable while still maintaining presence on any range or collection display. Weighing in at approximately 13 pounds for steel models (T1) or just under ten pounds for lightweight variants (T5), it strikes an optimal balance between durability and portability.
Whether you're drawn by history or performance—or both—the Thompson 1927A1 DLX offers unparalleled heritage wrapped in enduring craftsmanship.
