The Wilson Combat Extended Magazine Release in blued steel (Wilson Combat part no. 31B) is a direct-fit upgrade for the full-size Government 1911 frame. Wilson Combat is one of the most respected names in match-grade 1911 pistolsmithing, and an extended release gives more surface area to hit under recoil or with gloved hands than the shorter factory button, helping magazines drop free cleanly on the reload. It is sized for the Government frame and finished in blue to match most factory-blued pistols.

Key Specifications

• Sized for the Government frame, the full-size 5-inch-barrel 1911 platform.
• The extended profile gives more surface area to press than the factory button, useful with gloved hands or under recoil.
• The blued finish matches most factory-blued Government-frame pistols.
• It is a direct-fit replacement for the factory magazine release button.
• An extended release like this is one of the most common first upgrades on a carry or range 1911, since it swaps on without touching the trigger or fire control group.
