Beretta SMG Magazine Pouch

[Drenski]

Has anyone ever seen any pouches that are post war for any series of Beretta SMG's I have combed through more information and pictures than I would like to admit and couldn't find anything on them especially from 1950-1999. Does anyone use any alternative pouches for their gun when they take them to the range?

Thank you!

Anything that fits an Uzi mag will fit a Beretta.  The Beretta 40s are obviously longer than Uzi 32s so the mags will stick out the top sort of like Thompson 30s in a pouch for 20s.  They'll still be held securely and the length makes them readily accessible.  3 Beretta mags and 2 32 rd Uzi mags for comparison

That's a clever solution! I have some of those green german mag holder which obviously won't work but I have to grab some of these as well, I was thinking about doing something similar but with mags made for colt pattern magazines

Colt mags are dimensionally the same as Uzi mags except for the location of the slot for the mag catch.  In fact a lot of "Colt" mags are actually modified Uzi mags. (Uzis are WAY less expensive.)

Hi All,

I use the MAT-49 pouches.  The 5X40 round mags fit just fine and the flap still works.

Enjoy,

How about during the war pouches?   This is the only, what I believe to be, WW2 pouch set I've seen?    The drop case is post war I believe, and holds 3 mags (up to 40 rd.)and a loader.   I know they look like MP40 pouches but they are not since they are far too small. They could have been directed to make them by the Germans, or the Germans may have made them for the Beretta's that they used?  They are unmarked from what I can see?  

Info seems to be more scarce than the pouches?
