    Default Short barrel Thompson approved?

    A guy on another board just read April's Gun Tests magazine and reported this interesting tidbit:

    Saw a small note in there that Kahr just got approval for the civilian sale of Thompson T1-14 .45 (Tommy Gun) Has a 14.5" barrel but adds a permanently mounted Cutts Comp. to equal 16" overall...Heavy SOB at 13lbs

    How long was the barrel on the original "classic" WWII Thompson?
    I was once asked if I was "a paranoid for carrying my Kahr".
    "Nope" I said, "just prepared".
    " prepared for what" he asked?
    "more stuff than you are"

    My Bushmaster (before Remington) has a 14.5" barrel with pinned compensator. I hate the pinned situation. Locks you into the one choice.

    I've never understood the short-barrel-pinned-compensator workaround. The guns are the same overall length right? Wouldn't you just be better with the longer barrel?

    Don't know, but here's a pile of them somewhere in SE Asia:

    I believe it was 10''. I'd love to have a 10'' on mine. Just the way they should be.
    They are heavy though. Be nice to have a 10'' barrel and get down to 5 or 6 pounds instead of 13 to 15.

    That's a sad damn picture right there. Very sad.

    Why do we need a thread about a thread?

    Good point. I think there's something in the toolbox to address this very thing. Let me see if I can find the toolbox.
