Wilson Combat Oversized Magazine Release for Government Frame, Blued

The Wilson Combat Oversized Magazine Release in blued steel (Wilson Combat part no. 405B) is the largest button in Wilson’s magazine release lineup, built for the full-size Government 1911 frame. Wilson Combat is one of the most respected names in match-grade 1911 pistolsmithing, and an oversized release gives the biggest possible target for the thumb, which shooters running the pistol without a holster that could snag the button often prefer over the standard extended size. It is finished in blue to match most factory-blued pistols.
