A THOMPSON FOR EVERYONE!
THE NEW SEMI-AUTO CARBINE FROM KAHR ARMS TAKES TOMMY GUN SHOOTING OUT OF THE LUXURY SUITE. AND THERE ARE SBR AND DUMMY GUNS, TOO, WITH LOOKS THAT DELIGHT.

Guns | Auto Ord’s GI Gem
Auto Ord’s GI Gem Recreating the M1 Carbine GUNS MAGAZINE, June 2007, Page 40-42 By Jeff John Perhaps no other firearm has been as maligned and praised as the US M1 Carbine.

ON TARGET | NEW AUTO ORDNANCE 1911 .45ACP
Yes, new and improved, thanks to Kahr Arms! Combat Handguns, Dec. 2001, Page 46-51 By Bob & Sandy Rodgers Until now, in my opinion, putting the name Auto-Ordnance and 1911 together did not indicate quality.
