Detailed Review
The Kahr Thompson M1, also known as the Thompson submachine gun, is a firearm that was designed by John T. Thompson in 1918. It was originally created for use by the United States Armed Forces during World War I, but its popularity quickly spread to law enforcement agencies and organized crime groups.
The Kahr Thompson M1 is a fully automatic weapon that fires .45 ACP rounds. It has a barrel length of 10.5 inches and an overall length of 32 inches. The gun is constructed with a blued steel frame and a walnut stock, giving it a classic and iconic appearance.
One of the unique features of the Kahr Thompson M1 is the drum magazine that it uses. This magazine can hold up to 50 rounds of ammunition, making it a highly effective weapon for close-quarters combat.
Despite its popularity, the Kahr Thompson M1 was not without its challenges. The cost of production and the high demand for the weapon led to a shortage of materials, causing some guns to be made with lower quality parts. Additionally, the weapon was often used for criminal activity, leading to increased scrutiny from law enforcement agencies.
Today, the Kahr Thompson M1 remains a highly sought-after collector's item for gun enthusiasts and history buffs alike. Its unique design and role in American history make it a cultural icon and a symbol of a bygone era.

Nice looking firearm. Comes in a fitted case. Had quite a few failures to feed. Took it home and did a thorough cleaning. Removed all the factory oil and grease and it fed fine after that. Gun shoots extremely low unfortunately. I'm talkin 6 in at 30 ft.

My Thompson arrived without any issues and was as advertised in the text below the photo that clearly states this is the version with the 16.5-inch barrel. The fit and finish is fantastic, and the fact that the stock can easily be removed is an added bonu
