Description
If you're looking for a magazine extension that doesn't add capacity but brings real benefits to your carry setup, the Cross Armory +0 MEG17BK delivers exactly that. The +0 design means you're keeping your magazine at its original round count while getting a better grip profile and a weighted base that improves handling and magazine drops.
The Real Advantage of Cross Armory's +0 Design
Unlike extensions that tack on extra rounds, the +0 approach gives you the best of both worlds. You keep your standard magazine height for carry and holster compatibility, but gain the grip texture and weight distribution that matter in the field. Cross Armory engineered this piece from solid aircraft-grade aluminum, machined CNC for consistency. At 4 ounces, it's substantial enough for reliable drop-free performance without bulk. The compact shape fits cleanly with all magwells and standard holsters, so you're not losing your existing setup flexibility.
The Grip That Actually Works When It Matters
The engineers here focused on what grip really means: holding something with wet hands, blood, or wearing gloves. Instead of smooth dimpling that looks good on a shelf, Cross Armory designed clean slots with sharp 90-degree edges and engineered bite that catches your hand without snagging. This is the kind of detail that separates something you use occasionally from something you trust in a real situation.
Installation and Reliability
Installation is straightforward and doesn't require cutting or special tools. Most people recommend using Red Loctite to secure the screw after installation. The billet construction and smooth finish mean there's nothing here to snag, wear, or fail. It works with Glock brand magazines and Glock clone magazines across Gen 1 through Gen 5, so whether you're running factory mags or quality aftermarket options, you're covered.

Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between a +0 extension and other mag extensions with added capacity?
A +0 extension maintains your original magazine capacity while improving grip texture, providing added weight for reliable drops, and keeping a low profile that fits in existing holsters. Higher capacity extensions add rounds but can cause holster fit issues and print more on the body. The +0 approach is ideal for carry where profile matters more than adding extra ammo.
Will the Cross Armory +0 extension fit in my current holster?
Yes. Because the +0 design doesn't increase magazine height, it fits all standard Glock holsters and magwells without modification. The compact, low-profile shape is specifically engineered to maintain compatibility with your existing gear.
Do I need any special tools to install this magazine extension?
No special tools are needed for installation. The extension attaches via a single screw that you can tighten by hand or with a standard screwdriver. Cross Armory recommends applying Red Loctite to the screw to permanently secure it after installation.
What makes the grip on the Cross Armory extension better than other designs?
Most magazine extensions have smooth dimpling or weak grip textures. Cross Armory designed clean slots with angled ledges and sharp edges that provide engineered bite to secure your grip in wet, bloody, or gloved conditions without snagging. This comes from actual field testing rather than cosmetic design.
