HD Standard Shelf Mag Catch – Barstock, Checkered, Stainless (GI)

Upgrade your 1911 with the HD Standard Shelf Mag Catch for superior reliability, precise fit, and enhanced control. This mag catch comes from solid, heat-treated stainless steel barstock, giving you long-lasting performance, consistent magazine engagement, and a secure grip every time you reload. Whether you shoot competitively, practice at the range, or train for defense, this mag catch improves speed, consistency, and confidence.

Solid Construction for Maximum Durability

Thunder Mountain crafted this mag catch from heat-treated stainless steel barstock, not MIM or cast materials. As a result, it resists bending, breaking, or wear during repeated use. Moreover, the checkered face gives your finger a firm grip, letting you release magazines confidently and efficiently. The stainless finish also protects against corrosion and keeps the mag catch looking professional for years.

Extended Button for Faster Magazine Changes

The slightly extended button gives your finger extra leverage for magazine releases. Consequently, reloads feel smoother, faster, and more reliable. Shooters gain control and reduce fumbling, making this mag catch perfect for competitive shooting, tactical training, and everyday range use.

Precision Fit for High-Quality 1911s

This mag catch fits most single-stack 1911 pistols built to standard specifications. It does not fit double-stack or high-capacity models. The precise machining matches GI-style frame cutouts, providing seamless integration and consistent operation. Installation becomes simple, whether you are a gunsmith or an experienced shooter maintaining your pistol.

Simple Installation and Versatility

Although the mag catch spring and lock sell separately, this mag catch works perfectly with standard components. The combination of the checkered face, durable material, and extended button improves ergonomics and function. Additionally, it replaces worn or damaged magazine catches, restoring your 1911 to peak performance.
