It will work fine, I just don’t know why anyone would want it though

I don't know why the maker would do them in black for Kahrs. There are way more stainless Kahrs than black ones...

I got a black on on ebay to replace my stock one after I had to basically destroy it to get it off because there was an irregularity in the slide. I don't think it was a waste of 17 bucks.

mine has held up well. It is made of black aluminum, fit was excellent. YMMV

Looks great and ties in perfectly with the black frame on all the poly guns.

One mans waste of money is another mans treasure.

I thought of that this morning as I wandered our local gun show. One time I wandered and had a little jingle in my pocket and I couldn't find a thing to waste it on. Lots of nice stuff I didn't have enough for that I wanted of course but none of the usual little trinkets that I often times have a want for.

Oh well, maybe next money if I can hold onto the jingle that long. (not likely).

And I like it also. The reason I was looking at these actually because I marked and mangled mine trying to get the one off my CM9. I got it to work after some "fine tuning' with a file and some sand paper, but might try one of these to give it a personal touch. Also is it me, the hole for access to the release pin looks larger on the aftermarket one?

Actually the hole is deceiving. What you have to push is much smaller than the hole, like half the size of the hole. Need a small jewelers screwdriver or a very small pin punch to hit the pin.

That tripped me up first time I took one of mine off. Push and push and nothing happens. Wasn't hitting in the right little spot.

No, I mean the hole where you actually go into to push the release pin on the new aftermarket slide plate seems larger than the hole on the OEM back plate. Not the hole on the slide itself.
