EGW HD Standard Self Mag Catch – Barstock, Checkered, Stainless

Upgrade your 1911 with the EGW HD Standard Self Mag Catch for precise control, faster magazine releases, and long-lasting performance. Machined from solid heat-treated stainless steel, this mag catch delivers a reliable, firm fit in your frame while enhancing every reload.

Extended Button for Easier Reloads

The button extends .050″ longer than a standard GI mag catch, giving your finger extra leverage. As a result, magazine changes feel smoother, faster, and more natural. This small upgrade makes a noticeable difference, especially during rapid-fire or competition shooting.

Superior Grip and Construction

The checkered face ensures positive engagement with your finger every time. Unlike MIM or cast alternatives, this mag catch is machined from solid barstock, making it stronger and more durable. Furthermore, the stainless steel finish resists corrosion and maintains a clean, professional look.

Precision Fit for High-Quality 1911s

This mag catch fits most single-stack 1911 pistols built to proper specifications. However, it is not compatible with double-stack or high-capacity models. Additionally, the mag catch aligns perfectly with standard frame cutouts, ensuring seamless installation. Note that the mag catch spring and lock are sold separately for easy customization.
