The Cross Armory CRG43SOKRD transforms the standard Glock 43 with precision-machined aluminum components that enhance both functionality and aesthetics. This three-piece upgrade kit replaces factory plastic parts with aircraft-grade aluminum alternatives finished in striking red anodization. Each component maintains factory specifications while providing enhanced durability and visual appeal.
What Makes This Different
Unlike basic aftermarket parts that focus solely on appearance, Cross Armory components undergo CNC machining from solid aluminum billets. The Type III hard anodizing process creates a surface hardness rating of 65-70 HRC, significantly exceeding polymer durability. Factory tolerances remain unchanged, ensuring reliable function while upgrading material quality from injection-molded plastic to aerospace-grade aluminum.
Key Features
- Aircraft-grade 6061-T6 aluminum construction with Type III hard anodizing
