EGW HD Standard Self Mag Catch – Barstock, Checkered, Blued
Upgrade your 1911 with the EGW HD Standard Self Mag Catch for improved control, faster magazine changes, and long-lasting durability. Crafted from heat-treated barstock, this mag catch provides a precise fit and a secure feel every time you reload.
Extended Button for Easier Operation
The button extends .050″ longer than a standard GI mag catch, giving your finger extra leverage. Consequently, magazine releases feel smoother, faster, and more natural. Whether you’re shooting competitively, on the range, or in tactical scenarios, this extension improves speed and reliability.
Solid Construction and Enhanced Grip
Unlike MIM or cast alternatives, this mag catch is machined from solid barstock for maximum strength. The checkered face ensures positive engagement, so your finger never slips during a reload. Additionally, the blued finish adds corrosion resistance and a classic, polished look for your 1911.
Perfect Fit for Quality 1911s
This mag catch holds the magazine shelf in its standard position and fits most single-stack 1911 pistols. However, it does not fit double-stack or high-capacity models. The cut of the catch matches well-manufactured 1911 frames, ensuring a drop-in fit and consistent operation. Mag catch spring and lock are sold separately.
