Hey,
I've always had an interested in the Thompson pistols chambered in wildly insane calibers...because the idea of a 30-06 pistol sounds pretty darn fun!
Now I'm kind of confused on what each product offers. I basically want something that has the strongest frame, though I guess it takes effort (or straight negligence) to blow up a T/C judging by the fact that there are loads specially and only developed for them.
I've come to the conclusion that I often enjoy trying different calibers and the best thing to do is find a gun that is a modular as possible.
Now I am aware of the case law about the T/C, and if I'm remembering the ATF rule that came out of it is once a pistol always a pistol. However, once a rifle...it better stay a rifle without a tax stamp. I figure in that case the pistol frame is the best one to get, since you could add a rifle stock on it and go back and forth...I'm making a guess I of course wouldn't do that till I was a hundred percent sure.
Of course another idea is just buy H&R Handi Rifles (yes I know they're rifles vs pistols, but you can get them for under $300 out the door even ordering online).
