WHERE CAN I BUY THOSE LONG BANNANA CLIPS THOSE LOOK COOL |
Try Safeway... Any of your better stocked supermarkets should have those..Make sure you unpeel them first. Don't want your Thompson to jam up..

You can buy 20 or 30rd stick magazines.
The cost of the ammo to fill a drum is not a consideration, the drum will probably cost about what your gun did.
Welcome, you will learn a lot here.

Also, unless you have a modified magazine catch installed, the standard GI 20 and 30 round stick type magazines require an "oval" mag catch hole as is in the magazine that came with your gun when you pruchased it. The standard GI issue magazine can readily modified, but doing so makes the mag useless for full auto Thompsons so in the long run getting the modified catch is my recommendation.
Many happy shooting sessions.

Also, try not to use your caps lock key when posting, it's hard to read if you do that.

That is quite a coincidence as some around here make a habit of this.

Then take that oppertunity to have someone who is familar with firearms to go over your gun with you and show you the proper way to handle it, load magazines, etc.
Firearms ownership is a right that comes with much personal responsibility.
Don't get in a rush.

Lord, go read all the back postings on this site.
If you don't know the difference between a .45 Long Colt and a .45 ACP round, you have zero business trying to fire that 1927 until you learn a WHOLE lot more.
I'm not being nasty, just realistic.
Ps. DON't try to fire .45 Long Colt in the 1927 by dropping one round into the bbl.

you picked the wrong carbine to be your first gun. these things need a good deal of knowledgable attention to run right. something you seem to be greatly lacking.
i don't know how else to put it, these new made kahrs are not a "beginer gun". it would seem you have NO clue about firearms, it also seems your dealer is a dumbass.
i STRONGLY suggest you do great deal of studying BEFORE you make ANY attempt to fire this weapon.
