Auto Ordnance Brings Back the 1911TC

1911TC pistol
Auto Ordnance is bringing back the 1911TC pistol.  The original Thompson Custom 1911TC was introduced in early 2008 and only 100 pistols were made.  Auto Ordnance states the production numbers were so low because of the shift toward concealed carry pistols after the 2008 US national elections.
