One of my magazines (K820) has a broken follower. Wondering if anyone has a spare they'd be willing to sell for a reasonable price vs Kahr's $23.11 it would cost me for the maintenance kit. Please PM me if you have one you'd like to sell.
Thanks!

Might consider the Lakeline metal followers. I just checked they are 20 bucks but should last forever.

Good choice :)

I have a Lakeline follower in the magazine that I carry in my CW9. I like it.
With that said, keep an eye on the Lakeline follower during your first range trip with it. The reason I say this is, as you have a broken OEM follower, there's a chance that the barrel's feed ramp caused that. In my experience, the OEM followers show little evidence of impact from the ramp before they break. The Lakeline follower is far stronger in this area, but it will show evidence of the feed ramp hitting it.
I had not had a follower break (other than one I broke assembling a magazine), but after installing a Lakeline follower I could see where the feed ramp of my CW9 was hitting the follower:

The fix for this was to remove some material from a lower corner of the feed ramp:

I've not had any further damage to the follower.

I'd like to make clear that this is not a dig on Lakeline, but rather an endorsement of their follower. I've been completely satisfied with all the products I've purchased from them (follower, P/CW 380 striker, and XD-S striker guide).

Regards,
Greg

Thanks, I actually sent an email to Kahr with pictures and they sent me two new ones at no cost. I plan to work on the feed ramp like Greg did to see if that corrects the issue.
