Drop-In Extended Magazine Release Kit, Blued Carbon, Hex Head
Nighthawk Custom’s Drop-In Series mag release, lock, and spring offer a fast, reliable way to upgrade your 1911 pistol. Each part is Fully Machined™ from a solid billet of premium 11L17 carbon steel, then blued for a durable finish—delivering the highest quality components on the market.
This mag release is engineered to be 1/16” longer than a Colt-spec part, allowing for easier reach and improved leverage during mag changes. The face is precision checkered at 30 LPI, ensuring a positive, non-slip engagement every time. Whether you’re competing or carrying daily, this upgrade shaves valuable split seconds off your reloads with a smoother, more intuitive mag catch.
May require minor fitting.
