Description
The 10-8 Performance 1911 extended magazine catch features additional length of approximately .045" over a stock catch, and a unique 30lpi serrated curved button surface for positive activation. This magazine catch also features a number of other features that make it more than just cosmetically unique.
-Machined from bar stock. Not cast or MIM.
-Interior of the catch is relieved to prevent trapping of the magazine when the button is pressed.
-Flat right side of the catch is slightly overlength to permit filing to a flush fit with the flat surface of your frame.
-Catch ledge is raised .010" for better magazine positioning relative to feed ramp.
-Spring tunnel dimensions are improved over Gen 1 catches, to provide a softer feel when pressed.
Tumbled, then bead blasted for a matte finish with soft dehorned edges.
Carbon steel version has black oxide finish.
Stainless steel version has matte blasted finish.
Does not include spring or catch lock.
Not all 1911 frames are made to the same dimensions. This part may require some fitting to ensure proper fit and function in your frame.

Great Design
What a great design by Hilton and 10-8 engineering! I run these on all 5 of my 1911's.

Mag catch
Installed on Les Baer UTC. Mine worked without fitting. Re-used factory lock and spring, no issues. Texture and function is flawless, mags load easier. Angle of the release makes the spring feel lighter. Great product!

Great magazine button!
I have two of these on Springfield 1911’s. Both installed with only minor fitting required. They work great and are a solid addition!

Magazine catch
Nice piece had to do a little buff and polish to work smooth but worked great after work nice piece

As distinctive as it is functional.
It has just enough extension to feel the difference without the risk of getting hung up on a holder or clothing. The unique slant design is as distinctive as it is functional.

Magazine Release
I thought this magazine release button was extended; it is not. The slant or checkered line, to me, are in the wrong direction.

Nice mag catch
Excellent overall fit and finish, but I did need to open mine up a little, for my stainless TRP. The tab on the lock was dragging, and a new EGW lock wouldn't fit at all. Not a big deal, works great now.

Nice but
Good Feeling part but a little bit rough, angle hurts your thumb a bit if you have larger hands

Best mag release in the market
2nd one I purchase. The angle the button has is ideal and very comfortable. Very little fitting required on a Colt. Solid construction.
