EGW HD Standard Shelf Mag Catch – Checkered, Stainless Steel, Standard GI Button

Upgrade your 1911 with the EGW HD Standard Shelf Mag Catch for precision fit, reliable performance, and better control. Crafted from heat-treated stainless steel, this mag catch delivers long-lasting durability, consistent magazine engagement, and a secure grip on every reload. Whether you’re at the range, in competition, or handling defensive drills, this mag catch improves speed, control, and confidence.

Precision Construction for Maximum Reliability

EGW machined this mag catch from solid, heat-treated stainless steel. Unlike MIM or cast alternatives, it resists bending, breaking, and wear even under repeated use. The checkered face gives your finger positive engagement, ensuring smoother magazine releases and more consistent handling. Furthermore, the stainless finish protects against corrosion while maintaining a professional appearance.

Standard GI Button for Familiar Operation

The mag catch comes with a standard GI-spec button, perfectly suited for traditional 1911 layouts. Therefore, you retain the classic feel while improving control. This feature makes it ideal for shooters who want dependable, consistent operation without changing the magazine shelf location.

Fits Most Single-Stack 1911s

This mag catch fits most high-quality single-stack 1911 pistols manufactured to proper specifications. However, it does not work with double-stack or high-capacity models. The precise machining matches GI-style frame cutouts, ensuring easy installation and consistent operation for a perfect fit.

Simple Integration

Although the mag catch spring and lock are sold separately, this mag catch works seamlessly with standard components. The combination of checkered surface, durable stainless steel, and GI-spec button improves ergonomics and overall function. Additionally, it serves as a reliable replacement for worn or damaged magazine catches, restoring your 1911 to optimal performance.
