bigu2fan Posted January 13, 2006 Report Share Posted January 13, 2006 I am looking for good quality magazine pouches to hold 30-round M1 Thompson mags. I plan to use these in the local CIII competitions. I see the reproduction ones available through www.ima-usa.com (item MU1630). Anyone here have one of these? If so, what is the quality like? If these aren’t so good, anyone have other recommendations? My only specification is that it must be a 3-cell mag pouch. It doesn’t have to be a WWII reproduction or anything like that. Thanks very much in advance for any help you can give. --bigu2fan willgreenlee@yahoo.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron Mills Posted January 14, 2006 Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 I have the IMA pouch, and it's very good. Snaps are tight but not impossible to open, finish is close to originals. It's not as dark as the old USMC ones, but overall I'm very happy with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigu2fan Posted January 14, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2006 Ron: Thanks very much for the reply! I will go ahead and order a couple of these from IMA. Again, I appreciate your assistance. --bigu2fan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TSMGguy Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 I recently bought a three mag pouch from Gunparts, Inc. It looks a lot like the original but is of modern materials and construction. Quality is excellent. The problem with most reproductions is that they are a t-i-g-h-t fit for the magazines! With this one, mags are easily removed and replaced. Every cell has a snap and a velcro strip. I'd give you the part number but I'm not home at the moment (no comments, guys!). Good luck.

JimFromFL Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 For use in a CIII competition, I recommend a repro 5 cell pouch. The mags still stay in place and are a bit eaiser to access and probably slightly faster when swaping mags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bruce L Posted January 15, 2006 Report Share Posted January 15, 2006 Several years ago, I purchased a couple of Assault Systems three cell mag pouches from a local law enforcement supplier. I don't know what they were designed to hold, but a thirty round T mag fits perfectly inside, with the top third of the mag exposed. A black web strap with a clip attached comes over the top of the mag and secures to the pouch. Don't know if these are still being produced or not.
