I like the look of the FBI Case but hated the thing tipping over when ever I took the gun out. Also I wanted somewhere to keep copies of the Form 3s and manuals I have for the gun.
My solution for the tipping issue seemed to be solved by Doug Richardson’s “SuperShooter” Case that has legs on the lid, which extend and keep the case from tipping over.
Unfortunately, I called Doug yesterday and discovered he was out of stock with no ETA in sight for the next batch. Great Guy BTW –be thankful that us Thompson guys have people like him around.
I then started looking at modifying an existing New FBI style case with legs when I saw my wife’s Louis Vutton catalog.

They had some interesting lid and front opening cases that could be adapted to the FBI style but would not tip over when the gun is removed.
I came up with this basic design for what I call a Thompson transit case-



I checked around and for a quantity of 20+ I could probably get these made of high quality materials, brass, leather and velvet for around $450-$500 as illustrated. Actually Lousi Vutton does custom work, It might be funny to have them make an original one off!
Questions- What do you think of the idea and design? What would you include /and or change?
