Auto-Ordnance has introduced the T1SB50DH, a semi-automatic short-barreled rifle built in the United States and chambered in .45 ACP. The firearm combines Prohibition-era styling with precision-machined construction, featuring a frame and receiver cut from solid steel with a blued finish. The overall length measures 35 inches with an unloaded weight of 12 pounds, so get ready to hit the gym before the range session.

The barrel is a 10.5-inch finned design fitted with a traditional Cutts compensator, bringing the total barrel length to 12.5 inches. The rifle is styled with genuine American walnut furniture consisting of a fixed buttstock, ergonomic pistol grip, and horizontal forearm. Sighting equipment includes a blade front sight and an open adjustable rear sight. There’s no Picatinny rail in sight - how dare you!
The T1SB50DH arrives equipped with both a 50-round drum and a 20-round stick magazine. Semi-automatic action fires .45 ACP ammunition. The T1SB50DH is available through Auto-Ordnance distribution channels.
