Ingram Model 6 Police Model - .45 ACP

Ingram Model 6 Military Model - .45 ACP

Ingram Model 6 is the first mass produced submachine gun designed by American firearm designer Gordon B. Ingram (his earlier Model 6 prototype, named Model 5, only had one example made), who would later go on to design the famous and infamous MAC-10 submachine gun. The Ingram Model 6 was manufactured from 1949 through 1952 by Police Ordnance Company of Los Angeles, California, and was primarily made in .45 ACP, though versions in other calibers exist. It externally resembles the Thompson Submachine Gun, though it is quite different internally.

There are two different variants of the Model 6, one intended for police, and one intended for military. The weapon featured a patented "Progressive Trigger": pulling back the trigger partially will fire the weapon in semi-auto, while pulling it all the way back will fire it in full-auto. Early police models and all military models lacked a selector, but later police models feature a selector in addition to the progressive trigger; the selector here serves as a secondary safety in semi-auto mode: it prevents the progressive trigger from firing in full-auto mode when it is set on semi-auto.

A semi-automatic carbine version also exists. A few improved variants of the Model 6 were made, numbered from Model 7 through 9.

Discussion

Seeing as this does not appear to have actually been in anything, shouldn't it be deleted?--PistolJunkie 22:02, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

It may have been used in The A-Team.--Predator20 23:01, 15 October 2010 (UTC)

I added it to the page. --Jcordell 19:05, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Doesn't seem so; the magazine well is shaped very differently, and the trigger location is too high in the A-Team weapon. I've changed the ID into unknown. --Wuzh (talk) 23:05, 6 April 2019 (EDT)

Department owned

The department that I work for actually owned one of these models. Properly registered and fully transferrable. It was in the department's vault for literally decades. Always cared for but never used. About twelve years ago the department sold it to a collector. I don't know the exact amount paid but I do know that the sale of this one subgun paid for the purchase of seven brand new Remington 870 Riot Guns as well as accessories and ammo. Wish I had been working for the dept. when it was still around. --Jcordell 19:05, 13 November 2010 (UTC)
