If you're swapping mags under stress, every millisecond counts. Ed Brown's extended magazine release gives you what stock buttons don't: a button that reaches where your thumb naturally wants to be. The .060 inch extension isn't enough to look weird on your 1911, but it's exactly enough to change how fast you can drop a mag.
This release is machined from solid bar stock and heat-treated for real durability. The button has crisp, 40 LPI machine-cut checkering that bites your thumb without being aggressive. A positive stop is built in to prevent over-travel, so the button won't get stuck pushed all the way in. Best part: it doesn't stick out far enough to catch on your holster like some oversized buttons do.
The drop-in fit means you're not committing to gunsmithing. It works with all single-stack 1911 frames, including Government, Commander, and Officers models. You'll use your existing magazine catch spring and lock unless you want to upgrade those with an Ed Brown rebuild kit. The overall length is .935 inches, keeping the profile tactical-friendly.
Competitive shooters and everyday carry folks both appreciate this upgrade. The extended reach means faster reloads in matches or training sessions, and the checkering keeps your grip solid even when your hands are sweaty or gloved. It's the kind of part that doesn't scream for attention but delivers when it matters.
Ed Brown designs their extended release as a drop-in fit for all single-stack 1911 frames, including Government, Commander, and Officers models. That said, frame variations exist, and a few users have needed minor fitting on some frame types. Most installations work smoothly out of the box.
No, Ed Brown engineered this release to work with tactical holsters. The .060 inch extension keeps the button accessible without sticking out far enough to catch your holster material.
Yes, the extended release uses your existing magazine catch spring and catch lock. You don't need to replace those components unless you want to upgrade them separately with an Ed Brown rebuild kit.
The extended release puts the button further forward on the 1911 frame for easier thumb reach, while an oversized button keeps the same position but makes the button diameter larger. The extended design changes where your thumb reaches, while oversized makes that spot bigger to hit.
