Description
The Cross Armory CRG5MCRD gives you the edge you need during reloads. Made from 7075 T6 aircraft-grade aluminum and precision CNC machined, not cast, this mag catch is built to last. The red anodized finish looks sharp and resists corrosion without compromising function.
Extended Design That Doesn't Interfere
The profile is ramped smoothly from the frame up to the catch surface, giving your thumb a natural point of contact for faster magazine drops. Cross Armory engineered this with holster carry in mind, so the extended portion sits just right without hanging up on gear or snagging during draw.
Installation and Compatibility
Swap it out in minutes with just basic tools. The CRG5MCRD works with Glock Gen4-5 models including 17, 19, 22, 23, 24, 26, 27, 29, 31, 32, 33, 34, and 35. It's reversible too, so you can set it up for right or left-handed operation. The improved geometry of the catch bar means minimal installation time and reliable performance from day one.
Why Aluminum Matters Here
Aluminum construction keeps this light without sacrificing strength, and it won't damage your magazines the way some harder metals can. The anodized finish handles range use and regular cleaning without wearing through. This is the kind of detail that separates parts that last from parts you'll be replacing.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this extended mag catch interfere with my holster?
No. The design is engineered to sit flush without catching or snagging. The profile is ramped smoothly so the extension doesn't stick out far enough to hang up on gear during draw or holster transitions. Many users successfully run this with their standard holsters.
How difficult is it to install the CRG5MCRD?
Installation takes about five minutes with just a small pick tool or tweezers to manage the spring. You'll remove the slide, take out the original catch and spring, slide in the new catch, and reseat the spring. It's a straightforward swap with no gunsmithing needed.
Can I use this mag catch with both hands?
Yes, the catch is reversible, so you can orient it for right or left-handed operation. Many ambidextrous users find this flexibility valuable. Just make sure it's properly seated after repositioning.
Will aluminum mag catches damage my magazines?
No. Unlike some harder materials, the anodized aluminum surface is magazine-friendly and won't gouge or wear your mag lips during normal use. The 7075 T6 construction is strong enough for reliable operation without the drawbacks of harder coatings.
