Time Saver!
Most mag catches, nearly all the stock ones, will "trap" the magazine. That is, if you press inward firmly, the left side of the catch hangs up the left side of the magazine. Only when you release a little pressure will the mag fall. The 10-8 mag catch is pre-relieved so that it will _not_ trap mags! Further, the button is subtly tapered to match the angle of the pad of your thumb as you press on the mag catch btton. The 10-8 mag catch will make reloads more sure with less effort. The alternative? Spending time modifying some other catch to not do what the 10-8 catch doesn't do out of the box. Recommended.

Great mag release
I've tried several mag releases in my 1911, and this is the one I chose to keep. I really like the button design.
