Wait...WHAT?? He was shooting guns in your school auditorium? What was the backstop, just popping them off into a wall?
Nope. The FFA boys built a backstop.

The selection of PCCs in .45 is very poor.
The one benefit to the Thompson is that should you encounter an intruder you will have the distinction of being the most cinematic self defense shooter in the country. This is especially true if you happen to be smoking a cigar and are wearing a robe over your skivvies when the intruder comes in. Very imagistic, very cool gun.....
I'll bet you a box of Shipley's donuts that 99% of those under age 30 have no clue what a "Tommy Gun" is, much less have the ability during a moment of panic to discern the caliber of the firearm pointed at their chest. Undoubtedly the look would be the same if it was a 9mm pistol a .410 shotgun or .22 Ruger Bearcat.Personally, I would want something a bit easier to carry and use. But it's certainly a functional weapon for defense.
If I had one, I think I'd consider mounting a GoPro on it just to capture the look on the home invader's face when he realized the bore he was staring at belonged to a frickin' "Tommy Gun"!
It may only be semi-auto, but I'm sure the look on his face won't matter!
1927 a terrible choice for HD. 40% heavier than an AR, harder to swing in close quarters, unless you have drum magazines less capacity than a 30 rounder. 5.56 provides 60% more ME. All parts and ammo easier to find for an AR. If used in a SD situation it is gone for good, lose a $600 carbine or a $1200 one?
ARs have add “ons” such as: laser sights, lights, suppressors, sbr options. 1927 zero.
If you want a .45 acp for HD get a Glock.
Just a side note about suppressing a 1927, Griffin Armament makes a adaptor for their cans specifically for mounting on the 1927's compensator.
Aero Precision is coming with a 45 ACP anytime soon.I have fired a .45 ACP indoors with no hearing protection. It’s loud but not painful. There is no way in hell I would ever want to have to fire an AR-15 indoors. Not with standard 5.56 or .223 ammo. No way. My hearing s jacked as it is.
If you want a rifle or carbine why not a .45 ACP PCC as @armedwalleye mentioned?
