Cross Armory CRG5MCGD Extended Mag Catch Glock Gen 4-5 Gold

The Cross Armory CRG5MCGD Extended Magazine Catch transforms the standard Glock release mechanism into a precision-engineered control that enhances reload speed and accessibility. This gold anodized aluminum component addresses the common limitation of factory magazine releases being too small or positioned awkwardly for rapid manipulation during competitive shooting or tactical applications.

What Makes This Different

Unlike standard polymer magazine catches, this extended design features a 40% larger activation surface with textured contact points for positive engagement even with wet or gloved hands. The premium 6061-T6 aluminum construction provides superior strength compared to factory components while maintaining the exact dimensional tolerances required for reliable function. The gold anodized finish resists corrosion and wear while providing a distinctive appearance that matches other premium Glock modifications.
