Ed Brown Extended Magazine Release, Blued$24.95
Availability: In Stock
The Ed Brown Extended Magazine Release in stainless steel is a straightforward upgrade for shooters who want faster, more intuitive magazine changes during practice, competition, or defensive training. If you've fumbled with a stock magazine button during a reload or found it awkward to reach with your thumb, this extended release solves that problem without compromising carry comfort. It's machined from bar stock and heat treated for the durability you'd expect from Ed Brown's attention to detail.
The button extends .060" longer than the factory version, giving your thumb a larger target and better leverage for positive mag drops. The checkering is machine cut rather than stamped, so it stays sharp and provides confident grip even when your hands are wet or gloved. Because it's sized right, it won't snag on your holster or clothing during the draw or reholster—a practical consideration if you're carrying daily.
An internal stop prevents you from pushing the magazine too far into the magwell, a detail that keeps fumbled reloads from turning into jams. This is the kind of small engineering that separates a good part from a great one. If you're running a 1911 or compatible platform and want to shave seconds off your reload without bulk, this is worth the upgrade.
| Brand | Ed Brown |
| Material | Stainless Steel |
| Extension Length | .060" longer than stock |
| Button Style | Machine-cut checkered |
| Finish | Heat treated |
This Ed Brown extended release is designed for 1911 platforms and compatible handguns that accept standard diameter magazine buttons. Verify your platform uses the standard 1911 magwell before ordering.
No. This product is the extended button only and does not include the catch lock or spring. If you need those parts, you'll need to source them separately or ensure your existing components are compatible.
Ed Brown designed this with carry in mind. While it extends .060" beyond stock, the compact profile is shaped to avoid snagging on holsters or clothing during draw and reholster. That said, fit can vary by holster design—if you use a form-fitted holster, verify clearance before trusting it in daily carry.
The extended reach and checkering make the button easier to find and manipulate under stress, which typically translates to faster, more confident magazine changes. The actual speed gain depends on your technique and practice, but the improved ergonomics remove a friction point in the reload sequence.
