HD Higher Mag Catch Machined from Barstock Checkered Blue Reviews

4.9 Rating 22 Reviews
Read EGW Guns Reviews

The shelf on our EGW Higher Mag Catch is .020 higher, to hold the magazine higher in the frame. The button is extended .050" longer than the original 1911A1 factory button to ensure fast positive magazine release on the 1st try. Guns that have issues with nose dives will benefit from the higher mag placement (provided there is a small gap between the magazine and the frame in the front). The result is better feeding with 8 round 45 mags and hollow points. The higher mag catch is checkered for better grip. This part is NOT MIM or CAST. Our mag catches are NOT tapped for buttons. The button on our mag catch is standard GI spec.Mag Catch Spring and Mag Catch Lock are sold separately.

The mag catch is beautifully machined and well finished, with no machine marks or sharp edges. Installation was stupid easy (thanks, Mr. Browning!) and the bluing matches the color of the gun perfectly. The raised catch definitely raised the position of magazines in the frame and alleviated most of the nose-dive misfeeds I was encountering in my 10mm 1911.

Almost a drop in part. Installation of this part might require minor fitting because the higher mag catch shelf may be too high. It just took several passes with a file to adjust the "shelf" to a proper dimension.

Dropped in. Stopped magazine "wiggle." Gun feels less janky, with more consistent cartridge presentation and feeding. Wish I'd gotten it earlier.
