Is it really this hard to find a Thompson M1A1?

I can only find a few online and they're all like $2,000. mad.gif

I want one for collection purposes of course

Would I have better luck at a gunshow?

$2000? You must be talking a non-firing version? A fully transferable Class 3 Thompson M1A1 is worth closer to $20,000.

You can get an Auto Ordinance or Kahr semi-auto copy for less than $1000. Last one that I turned down was $550, but that was a great deal. There are some of these at gun shows if they'll work for you.
