Cross Armory Mag Catch Extended — Compatible with Glock Gen1–3 / P80 — Black Anodized Aluminum (CRGMCBK)
Give your Glock or Polymer80 build a small upgrade that delivers big results. The Cross Armory Mag Catch Extended (CRGMCBK) is a precision-machined, drop-in magazine release engineered to improve reload speed, ergonomics, and tactile control for Glock Gen1–3 frames and compatible P80 builds. Finished in a durable black hard-anodized coating, this lightweight aluminum mag catch blends rugged performance with a stealthy, OEM+ appearance.
Faster Reloads — Better Control
Whether you’re competing, training, or carrying, the extended paddle provides a larger, textured contact surface that lets you release magazines without shifting your grip. That means faster, more intuitive reloads under stress, while wearing gloves, or when your hands are wet. The added leverage reduces thumb travel and helps minimize lost time during drills or real-world scenarios.
Precision Materials & Rock-Solid Finish
Material: Aircraft-grade aluminum for excellent strength-to-weight ratio.
Finish: Black hard-anodized surface for superior corrosion resistance and wear durability.
Machining: CNC-precision tolerances ensure a consistent, snag-free fit that preserves factory geometry.
Designed for Seamless Fit
Cross Armory designed this mag catch as a true drop-in upgrade for Glock Gen1–3 frames and P80 frames cut for Gen1–3 controls. No frame modification is required — simply swap the factory mag catch for a tactile, more ergonomic control. The extended profile improves positive engagement with every press while maintaining full compatibility with factory magazines and most aftermarket components intended for these frame generations.
