I just don't like the stock plastic floor plates Kahr uses for CW's. They don't look right and they print more then a flat stainless plate like on the PM's

So I first made a flat SS floor plate,(I know you can buy these, but hey I am frugal:)). And I have carried it that way for sometime now.

But I have always thought that a finger "hook" and a rounded butt would look much better then the mag just hanging out the bottom. So today I whipped up this "spacer" I still use the flat plate but slide this over the mag to give me a solid secure grip (like a GAP plate for a Glock) and a rounded profile and butt so it shouldn't print.

Here is my new improved floor plate on my CW9.

Very Nice!

You interested in selling one? I put the flat plate on mine and it has that little gap I would like to get rid of.

That is sweet. On the one stand alone pic it looks like metal but I assume your using polymer?

Looks really clean and nice.

Nice job!

Thanks a lot Guys!
I may still reshape some of the contours but I think I like the way it came out so far too...:) I am going to have to shoot it to see for sure but like the GAP plates I use on the G26, I think it will feel good and really help provide a good positive grip for drawing from an IWB holster.

eaglefrq, Sorry can't sell one yet, I spent a few hours making this one by hand, I would need to get more material first, and then try to see if I could somehow speed up production ???

Bawanna, Yes its poly.

Mine would have to be refinished in ti-ty pink to match the grip refinsih job Bawanna did for me.

If you talk beardog into making you one, send it to me I still have some of that finish, it'll match perfectly.

Beardog, I feel your pain in making these, unless a guy went big time and somehow poured those things en mass, you couldn't charge enough to justify your time making them one at a time.

You got a great concept though. If you go public I want some stock. Wow, that sounded like banker talk huh. I never owned a stock before unless you consider livestock, I had a cow once, gotta a couple horses.
I guess my insurance does something with stocks, not sure what but they say its good stuff.
