Description
UPDATE 06/01/25: THIS PRODUCT IS NOW DISCONTINUED AND OUR INVENTORY DEPLETED.
The 10-8 Performance magazine catch for the Staccato 2011 Gen2/3 grip modules features a unique 30lpi serrated curved button surface for positive activation. The curved button surface matches the contour of your thumb pad when the pistol is rolled over for a reload, and the serrations provide improved traction over the smooth factory unit. Overall length of the button protrusion, as measured at the longest part, is the same as the factory unit. This is NOT an extended length/width button. Face of the serrated button features a machined bevel to improve user comfort during handling and carry.
Fits ONLY Staccato 2011 double stack models with Gen2/3 grip modules (P, P DUO, XC, XL, C2, C2 DUO). Does NOT fit legacy grip modules, aftermarket metal grip modules, single stack models (legacy/discontinued C, C DUO, R). DOES NOT FIT STACCATO v3 guns such as the CS or 2024 C.
- Gen2/3 Grip Modules can be identified by the molded texturing and the star logo on the lower portion of the side of the grip.
- Gen1/Legacy Grip Modules may have the tree bark texturing or double diamond molded checkering, as well as the faux grip screw at the bottom half of the grip. This catch IS NOT compatible with these modules.
Machined from hardened 4140 bar stock, with black oxide (blue) finish. Magazine catch only.
Requires factory Staccato Gen2 mag catch lock, NOT INCLUDED (and not sold by the factory - use the one that's IN your Gen2 grip module).
If you're retrofitting your existing gun, you will be reusing the factory catch lock and spring.
These parts are made to the original STI/Staccato Gen2 mag catch factory spec, but due to variances in the molded grip module and production changes, this part may be a bit sticky in your grip module. Here are a few trouble shooting steps:
- Ensure that the new mag catch (with no spring/catch lock) fits smoothly in the grip module.
- Check that the mag catch spring tunnel is clean - use a toothpick or paper clip to clear the tunnel, and then a pipe cleaner or compressed air to finish up.

2011 Gen2 Staccato Mag Catch
I have 10-8 mag catches installed on all of my 1911's and 2011's. The angle and texture of the mag release button facilitates a natural and very positive tactile engagement when operating under pressure. This isn't for gaming where fractions of a second count as the button isn't extended, enlarged, or lighter so you can hit the button as fast as possible and change out a mag. Instead, this mag catch/release is designed for secure and sure-handed weapon manipulation where your hands could be sweaty, bloody, greasy, etc while being low profile enough that you don't have to worry about accidently releasing a mag while on duty, concealed carrying, etc. That being said, the angle and texture of the button makes mag changes lightning fast if you do your part. This is the first part I upgrade on every 2011 and 1911 I own and I highly recommend it.

Magazine Catch, Staccato 2011, Gen2 Double Stack
THIS is the mag catch Staccato needs to include with their pistols. The machined serrations add positive traction and the angled face matches the grip contour perfectly.

Staccato Mag Release
Well made and easy installation, definitely a good choice but not as dramatic an improvement as I hoped. My only real gripe (very minor) about 2011’s is the release requires me to shift my grip a bit to properly hit it. This feels better than the factory, but not really seeing a massive difference in manipulation. They make it clear it doesn’t extend at all so can’t fault them there. Wish it were a little easier to depress but I’m sure it’ll break in more.

Gen2 magazine release
I have a distorted strong hand thumb. This is more comfortable than the factory release. I did have to use a lighter spring with it. Too hard to push with the factory spring. Great product.

2011 Gen 2 mag release
Great addition to a Staccato pistol. The workmanship is great, fits perfectly, and makes it easier to release the mag on reloads.

Very Nice
Very nice upgrade to the factory mag release. Ergonomics are outstanding. Highly recommended!

Awesome
I was skeptical at first. Staccato makes a great product, but this makes it better. The ergonomics are there and the grip is there. It fits your thumb perfectly and securely. We need a better slide lock now 10-8; I’m certain y’all can do it.

10-8 mag release is second to none
I don’t know what kind of magic they are using but I notice the difference in consistent and full activation of my mag release every time no matter the conditions. I have them on all 4 of my Staccato pistols now.

2011 Magazine Release
The 10-8 2011 magazine release is an outstanding upgrade to both my Staccato P and P DPO. The designed, textured release is easy to operate and reliable under any conditions. I would highly recommend this upgrade to any Staccato shooters.
