Description
The Cross Armory CRG5PSRD is a three pin replacement set built for Gen5 Glock frames, giving you a simple way to add some personality to your pistol while making routine maintenance less of a headache. The pins wear a red finish and feature dimpled ends, which is the detail that really earns its keep. That little recess gives your punch or takedown tool something to seat into, so it is less likely to slip off and leave a mark on your frame when you are pushing pins in and out.
What Sets the CRG5PSRD Pin Set Apart
These are precision machined from 4140 ordnance steel rather than cast, then surface treated to help resist corrosion and hold their finish over time. Cross Armory reworked the geometry a bit compared to standard flat pins, aiming for a snug, clean fit that goes in without a fight. They sit flush and do not interfere with holsters, so you can run your everyday carry rig exactly as you did before.
Installing Your Cross Armory Gen5 Pins
Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable doing basic work on their Glock. With the slide removed from the frame, you push out each factory pin one at a time and match it up with the corresponding Cross Armory pin before seating the replacement. A roll of tape or a bench block under the frame helps support things while you work. The set includes three pins, and the extra pin is there for owners running an added backstrap, so you have the right piece on hand either way.
Who Reaches for a Dimpled Pin Set
This kind of upgrade is popular with folks building out a Gen5 who want matching accents to tie a color scheme together, and with anyone who has ever scuffed a frame during cleaning. It is a small, affordable touch that shows up every time you break the gun down. Fits Gen5 models 17, 19, 26, and 34.

Frequently Asked Questions
Which Glocks does the Cross Armory CRG5PSRD pin set fit?
This set is designed for Gen5 Glock frames, specifically models 17, 19, 26, and 34. It is not intended for Gen1 through Gen4 frames, which use different pin configurations. If you are unsure which generation you have, check your frame markings before ordering.
Why are there three pins and what does the extra pin do?
The set includes three pins so you have a match for each factory pin as well as a spare. The extra pin is meant for owners who have an additional backstrap installed on their frame. That way you are covered whether or not you run the larger grip setup.
What is the point of the dimpled ends on these pins?
The dimple is a small recess in the end of each pin that gives your punch or takedown tool a place to seat. This keeps the tool from slipping off mid push, which is the usual cause of scratches and marring on a Glock frame during cleaning. It makes takedown and reassembly cleaner and a bit more forgiving if your hand is not perfectly steady.
Is the Cross Armory pin set hard to install?
Not for anyone comfortable with basic Glock work. You remove the slide, push out each factory pin one at a time with a punch, and seat the matching Cross Armory pin in its place. Supporting the frame on a bench block or roll of tape makes the job easier, and if you are not confident, a gunsmith can knock it out in minutes.
