EGW HD Standard Shelf Mag Catch – Blued, Checkered, GI Button

Upgrade your 1911 with the EGW HD Standard Shelf Mag Catch for faster, more consistent, and reliable magazine releases. Crafted from heat-treated solid steel, this mag catch ensures a precise fit, long-lasting performance, and unmatched control with every reload. Whether you are at the range, in competition, or handling a defensive scenario, this upgrade makes every shot smoother and more confident.

Exceptional Grip and Control

The checkered face enhances finger traction, so you can maintain positive engagement during every magazine release. In addition, the standard GI button offers a familiar, comfortable feel, allowing for quicker reloads. Consequently, you gain smoother and more consistent operation, which reduces fumbling and improves overall shooting performance.

Durable Construction That Lasts

Unlike MIM or cast alternatives, this mag catch is machined from solid barstock steel and heat-treated for maximum strength. Furthermore, the blued finish resists corrosion and wear while maintaining a classic 1911 appearance. As a result, your pistol not only performs better but also looks sharp for years to come.

Extended Button for Enhanced Leverage

The button on this mag catch slightly extends beyond the original design. This provides better leverage, making magazine changes faster and easier. Therefore, whether you are performing rapid reloads or routine range practice, this mag catch improves efficiency and confidence every time.

Perfect Fit for High-Quality 1911s

This mag catch fits most single-stack 1911 pistols manufactured to proper specifications. However, it is not compatible with double-stack or high-capacity 1911s. Additionally, it aligns perfectly with standard frame cutouts, ensuring seamless integration and smooth operation right out of the box. Mag catch spring and mag catch lock are sold separately, allowing you to customize your setup further.
