I need a magwell for the gen 3 Glock 17.  I've looked through the Roland Special thread and see a lot of magwells but no names.

What I am looking for is a low profile magwell with finger cutouts for the extracting stuck magazines.  I would like it to be made out of metal, and would work with TTI zero magpads.

The concept of mag wells developed with the small mag well and limited clearance a 1911 has for the single stack mag. The glock grip is a funnel in itself with a single feed tapered mag going into a large double stack grip. From my perspective a mag well seems pretty redundant

Is it me or do I not see a Gen 3 17 mag well?  I'm seeing a 20, 21, and SF models, but nothing for a Gen 3 17.  Are they made for more than one model?

I get what you're saying, but they mag well isn't just for reloads.  At least not for me.  I use the pistol for striking as well, hence the metal base pads for the magazine.

That's a Gen 4 pistol.  Do the Gen 3 models look the same?

SLR, Magpul, Edgar Sherman Designs, Zev, Floyd’s Custom, Agency, Radian Weapons etc.

Pick what you like. Just be aware that some magwells will limit your ability to use any mag. Some companies make it part of a system that the magwell is designed to use in conjunction with there base plates like Floyd’s Custom.

That's a Gen 5 G17. I believe they look very similar.

Not a 17, but I ran the Agency Arms magwell on my 19.

I have magwells from both SLR & ZEV. Both are great quality, but they bunch my fingers too much on the grip. The SLR is more forgiving than the ZEV, but it's still a tight fit for my hand.
