TMC 1911 Hex Drive Magazine Catch Lock Kit – Stainless Steel

The TMC 1911 Hex Drive Magazine Catch Lock Kit gives your pistol a cleaner look and a more secure installation. Over time, standard slotted magazine catch locks often become scratched or damaged during assembly. As a result, they can detract from the appearance of your 1911. This upgraded hex-drive design solves that problem.

Cleaner Installation, Better Control

Instead of a traditional screwdriver slot, this magazine catch lock uses a hex head. It accepts a 1/16″ Allen wrench, which is included in the kit. Because of this, you gain better control during installation. More importantly, the hex drive helps prevent slipping, scratching, and unwanted tool marks.

Strong, Durable Design

TMC machines this magazine catch lock from stainless steel and then heat treats it for added strength. In addition, the hex socket is deep broached, which helps prevent stripping during installation or removal. This design ensures smooth operation and long-term durability, even with repeated disassembly.

Complete Upgrade Kit

This kit includes everything you need for a proper installation:

• Hex Drive Magazine Catch Lock (Stainless Steel)

• 1/16″ Allen Wrench

• Standard Wolff Magazine Catch Spring

Because the kit includes a quality Wolff spring, you also refresh magazine catch tension at the same time. As a result, your magazine release feels secure, smooth, and consistent.

Ideal for Maintenance and Custom Builds

Whether you are restoring an older 1911, upgrading worn parts, or finishing a custom build, this hex drive magazine catch lock adds both function and visual appeal. It installs easily and improves reliability while keeping your pistol looking clean and professional.
