Handguns Descriptions
AJ Ordnance Thomas 45
Developed by Frank S. Thomas in the early 1970s, Alexander James Ordnance produced the Thomas 45 for just a year, between 1977 and 1978. Designed as a small, large calibre pistol the Thomas used a delayed blowback action to slow the recoil of the slide. Thomas used a pair of slide-locking levers that were engaged by a paddle in the grip, which appears to be, but isn’t, a grip safety. Thomas’ patent explains the system The pistol may be compact it is not light, weighing 32oz (0.9kg). While its relatively small size for a .45 ACP was attractive, the pistol was snappy due to its chambering and a poor trigger and the grip actuated delay mechanism made the pistol uncomfortable to shoot. Sources suggest that AJ Ordnance produced less than 1,000 Thomas 45s before production ended.
Glock 21
Remarkable for its accuracy and light recoil, the GLOCK 21SF delivers the legendary stopping power of the .45 AUTO round with 10/13 round magazine capacity. Countless law enforcement units swear by the G21SF pistol, and that's why this powerful, lightweight, all climate workhorse is standard issue from the North to South Poles. The SF model reduces the circumference of the receiver at the rear, or "back strap," offering increased comfort and controlespecially for shooters with smaller hands.
