The Ed Brown oversized magazine release is built for speed and control. The bigger button gives you a larger surface area to work with, meaning you can execute mag changes faster during competition or training without having to adjust your shooting grip. The catch comes pre-drilled and tapped with the stainless steel finish throughout, so there's no guesswork about fitment or preparation.
What makes this release stand out is the simple sizing difference. The .375 inch diameter button extends further than a standard release, reducing the distance your thumb needs to travel. During high-pressure situations or rapid fire sequences, this small advantage adds up. The 40 lines-per-inch checkering on the button provides reliable grip texture even when things get sweaty or you're moving fast.
Ed Brown machines this release from solid bar stock and heat treats it for serious durability. You're not dealing with thin stamped parts here. The stainless steel finish resists corrosion and looks clean on the gun. Installation is straightforward since the catch arrives ready to go with the button and screw included. You'll use your existing magazine catch spring and lock, so there's minimal downtime swapping it in.
Fits all single-stack 1911 frames whether you're running government, commander, or officer size pistols. This is the kind of upgrade that gets used by competitors and professionals who need their tools to work reliably shot after shot.
The larger button can potentially activate with some holster designs, depending on how it's cut. It's primarily designed for competition and training use where you're controlling the release deliberately. If you carry daily, test it thoroughly with your holster before relying on it for defensive use.
No. The release comes with the button and mounting screw. You'll reuse your existing magazine catch spring and catch lock from your original release. If you're building from scratch or your original parts are damaged, you may need Ed Brown rebuild kit 814 or 814-S for the spring and lock.
This oversized version has a larger diameter button that sticks out more radially. An extended release has a button that's longer in the direction of your thumb travel. Both speed up mag changes, but they approach the problem differently. Choose based on your hand size and grip preferences.
Yes. This release is compatible with all single-stack 1911 frames including Government, Commander, and Officers models.
