I've been using the Geissele Maritime Bolt Catch, but it's hard to find right now due to popularity:

Strike Industries has a couple of "extended/enhanced" ones...be aware that they might not be USA made:

I'm not sure what you mean by oversized.
Do you mean something that is beefed up more than the normal 9mm AR bolt catch, to take the pounding the a 9mm blowback firearm can deliver?
Or do you mean the standard 9mm bolt catch that is used with most Colt style lowers. The one that has an extended tine so it can be activated by the smaller magazine.

If you mean the latter, many places stock them:
CMMG

Colt

Sorry...I mean one with an oversized face, like the Wilson Combat https://shopwilsoncombat.com/E.../productinfo/TR-EBR/ but made for a 9MM AR...

Haven't seen an oversized catch for the 9mm, and I have looked - wouldn't mind having one for mine.

I guess we represent a rather limited market... Confused

Kinda surprising to me, given the popularity of PCC's these days, though Colt mag lowers seem to be the minority of new builds.

I would be curious if any outfit offered a beefed up bolt catch for PC ARs.

That Wilson Combat catch looks to have the most promise over the standard parts, but if there's one made out of stainless steel, tungsten, depleted uranium, etc, I would be very interested.

Considering how much aluminum there is in an AR, I don't see issues with Wilson's "CNC machined out of bar stock steel" part.
