The Cross Armory CRGMCSV Extended Magazine Catch transforms magazine changes on Glock Gen 1-3 and P80 builds with its enlarged profile and precision machining. This aftermarket component addresses the factory magazine catch's limited surface area, providing shooters with faster reload capabilities and improved control during high-stress situations.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard Glock magazine catches that measure approximately 0.5 inches in length, the CRGMCSV extends the contact surface by roughly 40% for enhanced finger placement. The silver anodized aluminum construction offers superior corrosion resistance compared to factory polymer components while maintaining the lightweight characteristics essential for competitive shooting. Cross Armory machines each unit to exact tolerances, ensuring consistent engagement with factory and aftermarket magazines.

Competitive shooters benefit from reduced reload times during USPSA and IDPA matches, while tactical applications see improved magazine manipulation under stress.
