The Model 1921 (M1921) was the first major production model. Fifteen thousand were produced by Colt for Auto-Ordnance. In its original design, it was finished more like a sporting weapon, with an adjustable rear sight, a blued, finned barrel and vertical [[foregrip]] (or pistol grip) and the Blish lock. The M1921 was quite expensive to manufacture, with the original retail price around $200, because of its high-quality wood furniture and finely [[machined]] parts. The M1921 was famous throughout its career with police and criminals and in motion pictures. This model gained fame from its use by criminals during Prohibition, and was nicknamed "Tommy gun" by the media.<ref>{{cite news |last1=Johnson |first1=Cara |title='The Gun That Made The '20s Roar': Inside The Blood-Soaked History Of The Infamous Tommy Gun |url=https://allthatsinteresting.com/tommy-gun |access-date=5 July 2022 |work=All That's Interesting |date=27 June 2022}}</ref>
