1911 Mag Catch
Feeding problems with your single stack 1911?
I know exactly what you’re talking about. I’ve seen shooters at every match I’ve attended having this problem. The frustration of trashing a stage when your top round goes nose down into the feed ramp and locks up your pistol is something you can live without. I’ve seen quite a few single stack 1911s that would not work reliably with extended magazines no matter what I did. I tried every possibility in overall length and bullet configuration, but nothing would cure this problem, and you just have to use those extended mags in order to be competitive in USPSA limited class with a single stack.
This problem comes from a tolerance stack-up effect between the ammo, the magazine, the mag catch and the frame. The easiest fix is our JP Elevated Mag Catch—all those problems will disappear when you install this part. By elevating the position of the top round relative to the ramp, the gun will perform flawlessly with any extended mag, and as a fringe benefit, reliability will improve drastically when feeding otherwise unreliable ammo configurations such as rounds with short overall lengths and large flat frontal areas like many defensive JHP (jacketed hollow point) loads out of standard magazines. Sometimes I wonder just how many “home defense guns” are loaded with ammo that will not function in them because of this problem. Don’t find out the hard way.
Our Elevated Mag Catch drops in easily, accepting any 4-40 extended mag button. It may require some minor modification to the mag well of pistol and some magazines. The JP Elevated Mag Catch is guaranteed to improve the reliability of any single stack 1911 type pistol.
