Noooooooooooo! Change out the magazine catch for an original Thompson catch. This will allow you to use original magazines without modifying them.
This modification ruins collectible magazines. It is not unusual to find $150 plus original early Colt era Thompson magazines that someone has turned into a $5 piece of junk to use with a Kahr Thompson.
For those that do not know, Colt manufactured the first 15,000 Thompsons. Anything from this era is worth far more than similar items manufactured later.
The Thompson forum has a lot of information on how to change this out. This thread is one example -
