Imagine how much $$$ a Thompson can burn through with just one loading of the drum.

My 1911’s can run through more than I can afford. I can only imagine a Thompson!

Yer lookin at about $50 cdn. for 100 rounds of 230 grain .45 Remington UMC. And that's bottom end shells, good stuff will run you over $75 a drum . No wonder criminals don't use it anymore, it would put them out of business financially!

My holsters.
You can never have too many holsters! At least that’s what I tell myself. It seems you have to buy, and try, at least a half-dozen before you find the right one. Then the rest just sit gathering dust.

I agree Ken. You also need the items to put in the holsters. It's a shame I can't wear them all at the same time.

That's $120 to fill the drum along with an empty wallet. But I bet it is a lot of fun and everything has its price, so . . . rat-a-tat away! As far as shooting goes, I love the feel of a .45 auto cartridge going off, have never felt a firearm in this cal. that I didn't like.

Agreed. I've been shooting the .45ACP for. 40 years so the Thompson was a holy grail. Here's a couple more pics.

My pleasure. I must have pulled one of those stunts (which I do occasionally) where I Preview the post and somehow my brain tells me I submitted it but I didn't. All you younger fellas, see what you have to look forward to?

jerry, I've done that preview trick far too often. Have gotten much better at avoiding that...with effort.

I avoid that problem by not caring what mistakes I have made in my posts. Write it, send it! Deciphering my gibberish is your problem...
