EGW 2011 Magazine Catch – STI Mag Catch Blue

EGW 2011 Magazine Catch – STI Pattern – Blued

The EGW 2011 Magazine Catch – STI Pattern is a precision-machined replacement designed specifically for classic STI-pattern double-stack 2011 frames. Built for durability and consistent performance, this mag catch restores positive magazine engagement while maintaining smooth, reliable operation. Because EGW machines this part from solid steel and fully heat treats it, you get long service life even under heavy use.

Precision Machined for Reliable Engagement

First and foremost, EGW machines this magazine catch from solid bar stock rather than using cast or molded components. As a result, the part maintains precise dimensions and delivers a clean, consistent fit. In addition, full heat treatment increases wear resistance, which helps the catch hold magazines securely over thousands of insertions.

Furthermore, the blued finish provides corrosion resistance while also matching the appearance of traditional STI-pattern 2011 pistols.

Designed Specifically for STI-Pattern Frames

Just as importantly, this magazine catch follows true STI 2011 geometry. Therefore, it locks magazines positively and releases them cleanly without binding or excess play. Because of this exact fit, shooters experience smoother reloads and more consistent magazine retention during recoil.
