PISTOL PRODUCTION HISTORY
RIFLE AND SHOTGUN PRODUCTION HISTORY
Company Facts: Owners of the "Thompson" trademark, Auto-Ordnance manufactures semi-automatic versions of the infamous "Tommy Gun" as well as a line of pistols. The company also offers a wide variety of Tommy Gun accessories such as pre-ban 50-round and 100-round drum ammunition magazines and a violin carrying case that accommodates one gun, one drum, extra magazines, and "will capture the attention (and envy) of all who see it." The Thompson 1911 pistol is available in several calibers including .45 and 9mm. Ads for Auto-Ordnance firearms invariably feature the trademark Thompson logo, an outline of a bullet with "Thompson" handwritten across it. An ad for its 1911 pistols in the June 1995 issue of American Firearms Industry magazine claimed, "Over 2� million Thompsons sold since 1921."
