Part didn't
1911 Mag release was too large for a M1911A1 Government pistol. Returning this item.

Gross negligence in QC......maybe
I bought this part for my Springfield Armory 1911 Loaded Target with the understanding that minor fitting might be needed and am ready and able to do do it. Even after reading the reviews that one reviewer wrote about rough edges and excessive fitting required. I thought he was just complaining about a little work. When I received the product, I was horrified to see that my button came without the 20lpi checkering on the face of the button. I immediately went to Ed Brown's website thinking maybe I got the wrong part and found out they don't even make one without the checkering. This is gross negligence in quality control. How do you expect me to buy a gun you build if you can't even get your parts right.

A lot of work to install
Seems well made but final machine work wasn't done, it needed a lot of material taken off in order to function properly. I should of sent it back, but I didn't.

Also Slipped Through QC
The part was not machined properly at all. Needed major fitting to allow magazine insertion into the gun.
