Greeley, PA: The Thompson is often called the “gun that made the 20’s roar”, but it was not the only reason for that saying. In fast cars with loads of moonshine, 1920’s bootleggers roared down country roads, evading the law and delivering white lightning to speakeasies. Lawmen raced after the motor bandits, wielding Tommy Guns and 1911s. It was not long before Hollywood depicted these duels on the big screen. The Roaring 20’s blazed a trail into American pop culture and history. Auto-Ordnance’s latest custom guns are produced in collaboration with Outlaw Ordnance, and commemorate the era with the “Bootlegger” Thompson and 1911. Jodi DePorter, Director of Marketing for Kahr Firearms Group, commented on them saying, “Auto-Ordnance is devoted to preserving American History, and the Bootlegger series invokes images of the roaring 20’s–a time people find fascinating! Owning one of these guns is truly owning a piece of American history.”

Range Worthy Art

The Bootlegger Thompson and 1911 are works of art, and refined shooting implements. Each gun is artfully engraved with depictions of 1920s autos, newspaper print, wanted posters, and historical images from the time. The Thompson barrel is marked “Speakeasy”. The 1911 slide and Thompson receiver are engraved “Bootlegger Prohibition Edition”, and “150 Proof Tennessee Moonshine”. Beautiful scrollwork covers the American Walnut wood furniture, and sections of the steel. The finish is distressed Bronze Cerakote with a clear coating overlayed. The wood furniture is also distressed and then stained. Both guns are completely American made firearms, chambered in .45 ACP. The Thompson features a 16.5” barrel, 20 round stick, and 50 round drum magazine. MSRP for the Bootlegger Thompson is $2,883 (T1-14C3). The 1911 comes with one 7 round magazine. MSRP for the Bootlegger 1911 is $1,496 (1911BKOC9). Read more

It’s been 45 years since the first magazine dedicated exclusively to handguns hit newsstands. Celebrating the milestone in the true spirit of its purpose, American Handgunner and FMG Publications teamed with industry experts and artists to create a one-of-a-kind revolver: A Cimarron Firearms Frontier .45 Colt. Not only is the stunning sixgun the centerpiece of the magazine’s Sept/Oct issue, it’s also the top prize in the Handgun of the Month giveaway.

“Apparently, the traditional 45th anniversary gift is sapphire, but we’ve found it doesn’t shoot worth a darn,” jests Editor Tom McHale. “Instead, we elected to commemorate the occasion with a .45 Colt sixgun. Working with our friends at Cimarron Firearms, DeSantis Leather and Baron Engraving, we spiffed up a custom revolver sure to be the envy of any handgunner. What better way to celebrate the longevity of the first magazine to focus exclusively on handguns?”

The five-round celebratory revolver features a 4 3/4″ barrel with decorative hand engraving — including the “American Handgunner” logo — in 24K gold plating. Custom polishing, finishing, bluing and finely figured Maple grips culminate in a visual celebration of handgun history and expert craftsmanship. Accompanying the unique revolver is a leather-tooled holster from the artisans at DeSantis Gunhide with full suede lining, border detailing and an “American Handgunner” logo stamp. Read more
