Firearm magazine funnel and securing mechanism thereof

1. A device implementable on a firearm, comprising:

a magazine funnel configured to couple to an opening at a bottom of a grip of the firearm, the magazine funnel having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;

a securing mechanism protruding from the first side of the magazine funnel such that, when a gap related to the securing mechanism is expanded while the magazine funnel is coupled to the opening with the securing mechanism inserted into a void of the grip, the securing mechanism secures the magazine funnel to the grip of the firearm; and

a screw,

wherein the securing mechanism comprises:

a first tab protruding from the first side of the magazine funnel and comprising a threaded hole; and

a second tab protruding from the first side of the magazine funnel and parallel to the first tab,

wherein the gap comprises a gap between the first tab and the second tab, and

wherein, when the screw is screwed through the back wall of the grip and the threaded hole of the first tab, the screw pushes against the second tab such that, as the screw is further screwed in, the first tab is pulled toward the back wall of the grip while the second tab is pushed away from the back wall of the grip to result in the gap being expanded.

2. The device of claim 1 ,

wherein, when the securing mechanism is inserted into the void of the grip when the magazine funnel is coupled to the opening at the bottom of the grip, the first tab is between the second tab and a back wall of the grip.

3. The device of claim 1 , wherein, as the first tab is pulled toward the back wall of the grip while the second tab is pushed away from the back wall of the grip, at least one of the first tab and the second tab comes in contact with a physical portion of an internal structure of the grip.

4. The device of claim 1 , wherein the magazine funnel and the securing mechanism are portions of a monolithic piece.

5. The device of claim 4 , wherein the monolithic piece is made of polymer or plastic.

6. The device of claim 1 , wherein the magazine funnel is made of metal or alloy.

7. A device implementable on a firearm, comprising:

a magazine funnel configured to couple to an opening at a bottom of a grip of the firearm, the magazine funnel having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;

a securing mechanism protruding from the first side of the magazine funnel such that, when one or more components of the securing mechanism are bent while the magazine funnel is coupled to the opening with the securing mechanism inserted into a void of the grip, the securing mechanism secures the magazine funnel to the grip of the firearm; and

a screw,

wherein the securing mechanism comprises:

a first tab protruding from the first side of the magazine funnel and comprising a threaded hole; and

a second tab protruding from the first side of the magazine funnel and parallel to the first tab,

wherein, when the screw is screwed through the back wall of the grip and the threaded hole of the first tab, the screw pushes against the second tab such that, as the screw is further screwed in, the first tab is pulled toward the back wall of the grip while the second tab is pushed away from the back wall of the grip to result in at least one of the first tab and the second tab being bent.

8. The device of claim 7 ,

wherein, when the securing mechanism is inserted into the void of the grip when the magazine funnel is coupled to the opening at the bottom of the grip, the first tab is between the second tab and a back wall of the grip.

9. The device of claim 7 , wherein, as the first tab is pulled toward the back wall of the grip while the second tab is pushed away from the back wall of the grip, at least one of the first tab and the second tab comes in contact with a physical portion of an internal structure of the grip.

10. The device of claim 7 , wherein the magazine funnel and the securing mechanism are portions of a monolithic piece.

11. The device of claim 10 , wherein the monolithic piece is made of polymer or plastic.

12. The device of claim 7 , wherein the magazine funnel is made of metal or alloy.

13. An apparatus implementable on a firearm, comprising:

a pistol frame of the firearm having a grip; and

a device comprising:

a magazine funnel configured to couple to an opening at a bottom of the grip, the magazine funnel having a first side and a second side opposite the first side;

a securing mechanism protruding from the first side of the magazine funnel such that, when a gap related to the securing mechanism is expanded while the magazine funnel is coupled to the opening with the securing mechanism inserted into a void of the grip, the securing mechanism secures the magazine funnel to the grip; and

a screw,

wherein the securing mechanism comprises:

a first tab protruding from the first side of the magazine funnel and comprising a threaded hole; and

a second tab protruding from the first side of the magazine funnel and parallel to the first tab,

wherein the gap comprises a gap between the first tab and the second tab, and

wherein, when the screw is screwed through the back wall of the grip and the threaded hole of the first tab, the screw pushes against the second tab such that, as the screw is further screwed in, the first tab is pulled toward the back wall of the grip while the second tab is pushed away from the back wall of the grip to result in the gap being expanded.

14. The apparatus of claim 13 ,

wherein, when the securing mechanism is inserted into the void of the grip when the magazine funnel is coupled to the opening at the bottom of the grip, the first tab is between the second tab and a back wall of the grip.

15. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein, as the first tab is pulled toward the back wall of the grip while the second tab is pushed away from the back wall of the grip, at least one of the first tab and the second tab comes in contact with a physical portion of an internal structure of the grip.

16. The apparatus of claim 13 , wherein the magazine funnel and the securing mechanism are portions of a monolithic piece.

17. The apparatus of claim 16 , wherein the monolithic piece is made of polymer or plastic.
