Strike Industries ARSMCBLU Magazine Catch - Blue Aluminum Button

The Strike Industries ARSMCBLU Magazine Catch transforms the standard AR-15 magazine release with an enlarged, ambidextrous button that reduces reload times by up to 30%. This enhanced magazine catch combines a black steel catch body with a blue 6061-T6 aluminum release button for improved functionality and visual appeal.

What Makes This Different

The ARSMCBLU features a significantly larger release button compared to mil-spec magazine catches, providing 40% more surface area for faster, more reliable magazine drops. The ambidextrous design allows both right and left-handed shooters to operate the release without breaking their grip. The blue anodized aluminum button creates a distinct visual contrast against black receivers while maintaining professional appearance standards.

Key Features

• Enlarged release button provides 40% more surface area than standard catches
• Black steel catch body with blue 6061-T6 aluminum release button
• Ambidextrous operation for right and left-handed shooters
• Direct drop-in replacement for AR-15/AR-10 platform rifles
• Type III hard anodized finish resists wear and corrosion
• Textured button surface prevents finger slippage during operation
• Compatible with all STANAG and proprietary AR magazines

Competitive shooters benefit from faster reload times during stage transitions, while tactical users gain improved magazine manipulation when wearing gloves or under stress conditions. The enlarged button reduces the precision required for magazine releases, particularly valuable in low-light situations or when operating with cold, wet hands. The steel construction handles repeated use without deformation or timing issues that can affect magazine retention.
