After a long hiatus and great demand, the Thompson Pistol has returned to the market. The Thompson Deluxe Pistol TA5100D has a 10.5" barrel length and a walnut, horizontal foregrip.

Included with the Thompson TA5100D is one of the most famous accessories, the 100-round drum magazine. The authentic drum is entirely U.S. manufactured to the specifications that are as close as possible to the original. A 30-round stick, 10-round and 50-round drum magazine are optional.

I had one a number of years back, but it was a real problem keeping supplied with ammo. Even in semiauto mode, the thing just wants to be fired.....

Welcome to California. Our illustrious legislative solons banned the Thompson years ago. It is an illegal, semi-automatic evil assault weapon here. I am so glad that I live in such a forward thinking state. And I love Big Brother, too.
