Design and build quality

The THOMPSON 1927A-1 features a frame and receiver machined from solid steel, offering a robust platform for defensive use and range work. It retains the signature fixed buttstock, pistol grip and vertical foregrip configuration that contributes to predictable handling under rapid follow-up shots. The gold with tiger stripe metal finish on the 16.5″ barrel gives the rifle distinctive visual presence while remaining functional.

Sights and ergonomics

This model includes a blade front sight and an open rear adjustable sight, allowing for practical sight picture tuning for different loads or optics offsets. The vertical foregrip and pistol grip provide purchase for controlled recoil management and faster target transitions.

Barrel, compensator, and control features

The finned barrel is fitted with a Cutts compensator — a period-correct element that also reduces muzzle rise during semiauto strings. The finning aids heat dissipation for extended shooting sessions and the Cutts-style compensator helps keep the muzzle on target during rapid fire.

Capacity and included magazines

Out of the box the THOMPSON 1927A-1 ships with one 50-round drum and one 20-round stick magazine, giving owners flexibility between high-capacity demonstration and a more compact magazine option for training or transport. These magazine options reflect the model’s historic roots while providing contemporary utility.

At a listed price of $4,786.80, this piece is positioned for collectors and defenders who want authenticity combined with semiauto convenience. View product details and pricing
