Fortis mag catch and release works correctly with the standard catch spring. Aluminum construction with matte black anodize. Drop in fitment in any milspec lower. The Fortis brand premium shows in price more than function but its reliable.
Fortis mag catch and release works as expected but the price is high for a basic mag catch upgrade. Aluminum construction with matte black anodize. Drop in fitment. The Fortis logo on the button is the main visual differentiator from cheaper alternatives.
