Perfectly precise fitment to frame
I have used two of these now. One on a SAM Elite 1911 and one on a RIA 1911A1 Compact. Both drop straight into the frame, very snug, but also protrude from the frame on the right side when installed. I used a proper good flat file to remove the excess protrusion and fit them flush to the frame. The finish when filed is a clean machined look.

extended mag catch
This fit right into my Colt Wiley Clapp Gov't model. I had all my fitting tools handy as I have read that a lot of these extended mag catches have to be fitted. I was a little disappointed that I did not have to do any fitting(not really). My Colt and Wilson mags go in smooth, lock in great and drop free with no problem. Highly recommend.

Been using 1911's since 1966
I have always preferred the mildly extended Mag release because I have a large hand and short chubby fingers. I have been using the Ed Brown version since Ed first offered it. Rock solid, works, and I specify it in all my custom builds. I am down to only 21 1911's right now. Every one of them have the Ed Brown Mag release. I have a Springfield Professional. When I got it I immediately finished it with an Ed Brown extended Magazine release. A long with a few other parts, of my preference. I have been shooting for 56 years and carrying for business since 1966. I am very particular about how I like my 1911's set up, and which parts I prefer.
