The Thompson’s silhouette is one of the most recognizable in firearms history; the modern reinterpretation keeps the classic lines while addressing weight and handling for today’s shooter. For operators and collectors who want that heritage with modern materials, this model balances form and function in a semi-auto package geared toward range work and tactical demonstration.

AUTO-ORDNANCE THOMPSON T5P brings the iconic Thompson design into a lighter, more manageable platform by using walnut grain polymer furniture paired with an aluminum receiver. This version ships with one 100-round drum magazine and is priced at $1795.99. Shop this product

Design and Materials

The T5P replaces heavier traditional materials with an aluminum receiver that reduces overall weight without sacrificing structural integrity. Walnut grain polymer furniture preserves the classic look and ergonomics of the Thompson while offering improved weather resistance and lower maintenance compared with natural wood. The build gives shooters a familiar cheek weld and balance point while trimming pounds for longer carry or extended shooting sessions.

Magazine Capacity and Practical Use

The included 100-round drum magazine is a defining feature of this package. For range demonstrations, drills, or controlled fire suppression practice, the high capacity minimizes reload interruptions. That said, training with a high-capacity drum requires attention to magazine seating and maintenance; users should practice magazine changes and verify reliable feed under load.

Handling and Sighting

The balance shift from material changes makes the T5P feel notably lighter at the shoulder compared with historic variants. The aluminum receiver allows for consistent machining tolerances which aids in mounting aftermarket optics or backup sights if desired. The walnut grain polymer retains the tactile cues many shooters expect from a Thompson-style stock and foregrip.

Who Should Consider the T5P

Collectors seeking a Thompson silhouette with modern reliability, instructors conducting historical demos, and shooters who value extended magazine capacity will appreciate this model. Backed by the Auto-Ordnance name and offered in the Semi Auto category, the T5P stands out for those who want iconic styling with contemporary materials.
