Wilson Combat 1911 Extended Magazine Release, Blued

The Wilson Combat 1911 Extended Magazine Release in blued steel gives you a bigger, faster target for tactical reloads and competitive shooting. Designed for 1911 shooters who demand reliable, decisive mag changes without compromising grip ergonomics, this oversized release button extends just far enough to make a difference when speed counts—whether you're running stages at a match or training for duty carry.

Built from steel and finished in a durable blue, the extended magazine release features a checkered face milled at 40 LPI, giving your thumb a sure, positive purchase even under stress or with gloved hands. The real versatility here is the removable stainless steel button design. Thread it on for competition or high-round-count range days, then unscrew it and store it in your range bag when you want the standard profile for everyday carry or holster work.

This is a mag catch replacement only—no lock or spring components included. Installation is straightforward, and Wilson Combat includes an Allen wrench so you can swap the button yourself. The oversize architecture won't interfere with your grip purchase, so you get the speed benefit without fighting your own hand position.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this extended release fit my 1911?

This is designed as a direct mag catch replacement for standard 1911 platforms. It replaces the existing magazine release without requiring additional parts or modifications to the frame.

Can I remove the oversized button if I want to carry the gun?

Yes. The stainless steel button is removable—simply unscrew it with the included Allen wrench. You can store it separately or reinstall it whenever you switch to competition or training use.

Does this include the spring and lock?

No. This is a mag catch replacement only. The lock and spring components are not included; you'll reuse your existing spring and lock assembly from your current magazine release.

What's the 40 LPI checkering for?

The fine checkering at 40 lines per inch creates a textured, slip-resistant surface on your thumb. It helps you activate the release quickly and decisively, even when wearing gloves or during fast, high-stress reloads.
