Overview

The Byrna Mag Defender is designed to protect loaded Byrna pistol magazines during storage, transportation, and everyday carry. By covering the exposed projectiles at the top of the magazine, the Mag Defender helps prevent projectiles from being unintentionally dislodged during movement or handling.

The simple slip-on design allows users to keep spare magazines loaded and ready while helping protect the projectiles until they are needed.

The Mag Defender is designed specifically for Byrna pistol magazines and is not compatible with Byrna rifle magazines used in the TCR or Mission 4.

How It Works

The Byrna Mag Defender slides over a loaded magazine and covers the exposed projectiles.

Once installed, the polymer sleeve helps keep the projectiles securely contained within the magazine. This reduces the likelihood of projectiles becoming dislodged while carrying spare magazines, transporting equipment, or storing loaded magazines.

The Mag Defender uses a simple friction-fit design and does not require any latches, buttons, locks, or release mechanisms. It slides securely onto the magazine and stays firmly in place during normal handling, while still being quick and easy to remove when the magazine is needed.

The Mag Defender is fully reusable and can be installed and removed repeatedly as needed.

Before the magazine can be inserted into a launcher, the Mag Defender must be removed.
