Am I reading this product description right? There are finally ambi mag catchs for the 1911?
These have been available in the real steel world for quite some time. It was just eventual that they would be made available for airsoft.

The mechanism is basically the same thing as ambi mag catches for the Armalite platform. There is a lever mounted under an opposing side button that lifts the mag catch as required.

There are more moving parts, and more moving SMALL parts to do this, so there is a higher chance of failure and/or jamming with such mechanisms... but, it's a decent compromise for lefties who are desperate for a solution.
