This is a great improvement (14/03/2011)

This is a great part that helps in the overall function of the magazine catch. It makes changing the catch springs easier and avoids ugly deformation of the standard straight screw. In John Browning's time, hex head screws may have been rare, but today, this catch-lock makes perfect sense. I recommend it.

great lil catch.. (12/02/2013)

I have a Rem 1911 R1 swapped the mag release from blued to stainless looks better.. wilson combat mag release is lil tight but it is loosen up and EGW catch works great with it..

Good Product at Great price (01/06/2013)

Ease of installation, nice head and lack of screw head deformation.

Excellent Product For The M1911 (08/05/2014)

Perfect fit on my Rock Island Armory M1911. The stainless looks good agains the parkarized finish. Still working on customizing my pistol. Recommend this product wholeheartedly.

Should be the standard (01/11/2014)

High quality finish. Looks great on any SS pistol. It's shiny, so it may not matchup well with matte/bead-blasted finishes. The hex head appearance looks clean and matches the other standard hex heads screws already on your pistol, and no more deformation of the flat head lock. With the more common place of hex screws on 1911's these days, this ought to be the standard. Not sure why all big manufacturers aren't offering these. The only "Con" I can think of is that my Caspian pocket tool did not have this size hex on it.
