Ed Brown 1911 Oversized Magazine Release, Ss

The Ed Brown 1911 oversized magazine release is a drop-in upgrade that transforms one of the most repetitive motions in 1911 shooting. If you've ever fumbled a mag change under pressure or found yourself shifting your grip to hit a stock release button, this stainless steel component addresses the problem directly. The oversized profile gives your thumb a bigger, faster target, while the 40 lpi checkering ensures your finger stays put even when your hands are wet or gloved.

Built by Ed Brown's reputation for precision pistol parts, this release is pre-drilled, heat-treated, and hardened for longevity. It arrives already tapped and ready to bolt in—no gunsmithing required. The extended length lets you execute mag changes with minimal grip adjustment, keeping you faster and more consistent at the range or in a defensive scenario.

This is the release button only; the catch and spring are separate items. If you're running a stock 1911 and want to shave fractions of a second off reloads, or simply prefer a release that doesn't force you to reposition your hand, the Ed Brown oversized magazine release pays for itself in smoother, more intuitive handling.
