Larger shelf on the Strike Industries extended bolt catch is way easier to hit with the trigger finger when locking back on empty. Black anodize is matte and matches a Strike Industries lower well. Drop-in fitment on any standard lower receiver.
Strikes extended bolt catch enlarged shelf makes locking back on empty mags much faster. Mechanically perfect. The black anodizing has a slightly different sheen than my Strike Industries lower, side by side its noticeable but in normal use you cant tell.
Strikes extended bolt catch is a meaningful upgrade for getting locked open on an empty mag with the support hand thumb. The shelf is bigger than the factory part without being huge. Black anodize matches most uppers. Standard mil-spec install with the right punch.
