Magazines are the heartbeat of any serious firearm system. If the feed is inconsistent, it doesn’t matter how good your trigger press or sight picture is—you’re already behind the curve. The Thompson has history behind it and serious weight in the hands, and it deserves a magazine that runs as steady as a metronome under recoil and time pressure.
THOMPSON THOMPSON brings that steadiness in a classic stick format purpose-built for the .45 ACP Thompson platform. It’s a straightforward, no-nonsense magazine designed for Thompsons chambered in 45ACP—nothing more complicated than reliability, fit, and function where it counts.
Built for .45 ACP: Why the stick magazine still matters
The Thompson’s .45 ACP pedigree is part of its identity. That large, subsonic round carries momentum and a distinct recoil impulse, especially from a wood-and-steel platform. A stick magazine specifically configured for 45ACP maximizes feed geometry for round-nose FMJ and modern defensive loads alike. That means less nose-dive, smoother presentation into the feed ramp, and fewer hiccups when you’re on the clock.
With a stick pattern, you also retain a slim profile that’s easier to stage on your belt or in a pouch. Drum magazines may look iconic, but when the goal is practical training, transport, or duty-ready simplicity, the stick wins. THOMPSON THOMPSON is purpose-built for Thompsons chambered in 45ACP, so it understands the cartridge and the platform it serves.
Auto-Ordnance heritage you can trust
Auto-Ordnance sits at the center of Thompson history. That lineage matters. When a brand knows the pattern and the tolerances, you get a magazine that marries correctly with the mag catch, engages cleanly, and feeds without drama. With Model listed as “Various,” this magazine is aimed at broad Thompson compatibility across common variants in .45 ACP, reducing the guesswork for owners who run different models or configurations.
There’s elegance in keeping parts simple and proven. A properly engineered stick mag for the Thompson is a workhorse—no gimmicks, just a reliable path from cartridge to chamber.
Fit, function, and compatibility in the real world
Training days are where magazines prove their worth. A good Thompson magazine needs to lock in positively, run dry without short-stroking the last few rounds, and seat cleanly on a closed bolt when loaded. THOMPSON THOMPSON is designed for Thompsons chambered in 45ACP, delivering the feed angle and profile your .45 platform expects. With “Various” models noted, it’s aimed at common Thompson configurations that shooters actually use, from range replicas to duty-minded builds in the same pattern.
Before you hit the range, check your receiver markings and any aftermarket modifications that could change mag fit. For best results, pair consistent ammunition and maintain a clean mag body and feed lips—especially after dusty or wet training blocks. Small, routine care keeps the rhythm smooth.

Why .45 ACP feeds differently—and how to use that to your advantage
The .45 ACP moves with authority. Its shorter, wider profile interacts with feed lips differently than tapered cartridges. A Thompson-specific stick magazine supports that geometry and helps keep rounds aligned under recoil. You’ll feel the benefit when running controlled pairs or cadence drills—the slide cycles, the mag presents, and you stay on task instead of clearing avoidable stoppages.
In dry practice, work mag insertions from various positions—standing, kneeling, and behind cover. From there, run live strings with a balance of ball ammo and your preferred defensive load to confirm point of impact and feeding consistency. The goal is predictable performance, not surprises.
Professional tips for keeping your Thompson mags mission-ready
Number your magazines
Load smart
Seat rounds fully to the rear as you load. This keeps pressure consistent and reduces the chance of a rim catching during cycling.
Keep it clean
After range time, wipe down the mag body, check the feed lips, and ensure the follower moves freely. Dust and grit build up fast with .45 ACP carbon.
Confirm lock-up
Practice seating a full mag on a closed bolt. You want a firm, positive click without excessive force. Verify lock-back on empty during live fire.
Practical value at a fair price
At $57.59, you’re paying for reliability on a classic platform. That’s a fair trade when a single malfunction can burn a stage, a drill, or valuable training time. For anyone running a Thompson in .45 ACP, THOMPSON THOMPSON gives you a purpose-built stick option that matches the platform’s heritage and keeps your focus on target transitions, not troubleshooting.
Who this magazine serves best
– Thompson owners training with .45 ACP who want consistent feeding and clean lock-up
– Collectors who shoot their guns and require mags that respect original geometry
– Enthusiasts building a dependable range setup with classic lines and modern reliability
Set up your kit
Pair this stick mag with a sturdy mag pouch that retains under movement but releases cleanly on the draw. Keep a small brush and cloth in your range kit to maintain the feed lips and follower after high-round-count sessions. The Thompson rewards discipline; a magazine that matches that discipline is the anchor.
Ready when you are
Keep your Thompson honest. A dedicated, .45 ACP stick magazine designed for the platform keeps your cadence smooth and your mind calm, from the first round to the last. Load it, lock it, and focus on the work in front of you.
