If you've built a Glock Gen1-3 or P80 pistol, you know that magazine changes should be fast and reliable. The Cross Armory Extended Mag Catch for Glock Gen1-3/P80 is designed to solve a common frustration: a standard mag catch that's tough to reach or too recessed for quick, intuitive magazine swaps. This silver anodized aluminum extended catch moves the release point outward and upward, giving your thumb a larger, more accessible target. Whether you're training at the range, competing in drills, or just building a pistol that handles the way you want it to, a properly positioned mag catch makes a noticeable difference in reload speed and comfort.
Cross Armory has engineered this part with precision-machined aluminum to withstand the repeated impacts and stress of mag changes without wearing or failing. The silver anodized finish resists corrosion and blends cleanly with most Glock and P80 builds. Installation is straightforward for anyone comfortable working with basic pistol parts, though if you're new to takedown and reassembly, a qualified gunsmith is always the safer choice.
This catch is compatible with original Glock Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 frames, as well as P80 80% lower receivers. It's a subtle but practical upgrade that transforms how your pistol handles—no need to shift your grip or look down to release a magazine. If you've been frustrated with your current setup or simply want to optimize your build, this is a genuine quality-of-life improvement.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this extended mag catch fit my Gen3 Glock or P80 build?
Yes. This catch is designed for Glock Gen1, Gen2, and Gen3 frames, as well as P80 80% lower receivers. If you're building a newer Gen4 or Gen5 Glock, verify compatibility before purchasing.
What's the benefit of an extended mag catch?
The extended design moves the release point outward and upward, making it easier to reach and press during magazine changes. This improves reload speed and reduces the need to shift your grip or alter your hand position.
How is this installed?
Installation requires basic disassembly and reassembly of your pistol frame. If you're unfamiliar with this process, we recommend consulting a qualified gunsmith to ensure proper fit and function.
What makes the silver anodized finish important?
Anodizing protects the aluminum from corrosion and wear. The silver finish is durable, aesthetically neutral, and blends well with most Glock and P80 builds without standing out or looking out of place.
