Let’s take this thing full-circle, shall we?

There aren’t many historic firearms more iconic than the Tommy Gun. From Winston Churchill to Bonnie and Clyde, everyone knows that there’s nothing like a letter from the “Chicago Typewriter” to change the conversation. Today, we have some great information from the good folks at Auto-Ordnance, who make America’s Tommy guns, about how to load that 50- or 100-round drum magazine. We have to admit that even if you don’t own a 1927A-1, it’s deeply satisfying just to watch. But while we’re on the topic of people who don’t own an Auto-Ordnance 1927A-1, we should mention that at the end of this month, there will be at least one fewer and it could be you!

When I get that feeling, I want ballistic healing …
