Glock 17/34/45 Gen 5 – Flared Magwell – Aluminum – Lanyard Hole
PLEASE DOUBLE CHECK DETAILS AND FITMENT BEFORE PURCHASE.
This Cross Armory Flared Magwell is built for Glock 17, Glock 34, and Glock 45 Gen 5 pistols. It widens the magazine entry point at the bottom of the grip, helping guide magazines into the frame faster and cleaner during reloads.
The magwell is CNC-machined from aircraft-grade aluminum with a tough anodized finish, giving the pistol a more controlled reload funnel without turning the bottom of the grip into a giant shovel. This version includes a lanyard hole and is made for Gen 5 frames with or without the half-moon cutout.

Magwell Fit Guide

|---|---|---|
| Glock 17 Gen 5 | Compatible | Verify no backstrap add-on is installed |

| Glock 45 Gen 5 | Compatible | Verify Gen 5 frame setup before ordering |

What It Does
This flared magwell opens up the bottom of the grip to help guide the magazine into the pistol during reloads. The added funnel gives more room for human error, which matters when you are moving fast, wearing gloves, or trying not to fumble a reload like a raccoon with a car key.
Why It’s Worth It
A magwell is one of those upgrades that makes sense when reload speed and consistency matter. It does not make the pistol magical, but it does give the magazine a cleaner path into the frame.
For range work, training, competition-style setups, or a practical Gen 5 upgrade, this is a useful part with a clear job: make reloads smoother without adding a ridiculous amount of bulk.

Install Notes
Install and Test Magazine Seating
- Unload the firearm completely, remove the magazine, and visually and physically confirm the chamber is empty before installation.
- Verify your pistol is a compatible Glock 17, Glock 34, or Glock 45 Gen 5 before beginning.
- Do not install with backstrap add-ons.
- After installation, test magazine insertion, magazine release, base plate clearance, and reload feel.
- Test the actual magazines, base plates, extensions, and magazine accessories you plan to use with the pistol.
Verify Before You Buy
Verify Before You Buy
- Verify that your pistol is a Glock 17 Gen 5, Glock 34 Gen 5, or Glock 45 Gen 5.
- Verify your frame does not have a backstrap add-on installed.
- Verify your magazine bodies, base plates, extensions, and magazine accessories seat correctly after installation.
- Verify fitment before ordering if your frame or magazine setup is heavily modified.
- This is not a universal Glock magwell. Close enough is how parts drawers become graveyards.
