Dawson Precision is perhaps best known for their 1911 style race guns.  They build beautiful guns on the STI 2011 frames for competitive shooting in IPSC .  While known for those 1911’s they also make accessories for a lot of other guns including the Glock.  This picture is of the DP Ice Magwell on a Glock 17L.  As you can see it would certainly aid as a funnel for faster reloads.  The magwell comes with a replaceable plastic insert that...
