- These metal followers will not break. The aircraft grade aluminum followers are so strong, they are unbreakable in normal use in a pistol. The factory followers are nylon and can be broken if the barrel strikes the follower after shooting the last round. A broken follower can cause the pistol to malfunction.
- Slide lock is more reliable with the metal followers. The slide lock after the last round on a factory follower is controlled by a metal insert that is inserted in the factory molded part. The face that locks back the slide on the metal followers is precision CNC machined in the same operation that forms the part. There is no insert that can separate from the main body of the part.
- Consistently smooth magazine operation. Our follower slides smoothly in the magazine tube. You can even press on the corner of it, and it will move smoothly down the tube. It doesn't catch or bind. Smooth operation helps make your pistol feed consistently.
- The shape of the follower is improved. The metal follower has a profile that keeps the nose of the bullets up, aiding their travels up the feed ramp. Hand racking of the pistol feeds rounds more consistently.
- If you carry a extra magazine in your pocket the top round does not pop out easily like it does with the factory follower.

9mm Khar metal magazine follower upgrade and replacement
A custom Khar CM9 was a favorite of my edc pistol rotation. Excellent sidearm in every way excpt that when carrying spare magzines the cartridgs would peel off inside the carrier and when reaching for one expecting 6 (or 7, or 8, have got those also) there would be 4 or 5 with the rest rattling at the bottom of the pouch. Thus far Lkeline metal magazine followers have remedied this flaw. The K9 used to be NYPD approved, maybe they found out about this unsatisfactory circumstance. Justin Moon, owner of Khar, should contract out these followers from Lakeline, the polymer ones are dangerous and dont work. It was worth the long wait to get these replacements, now I can resume carrying the Khar CM9 confidently and look forward to a range session soon. Compliments to Lakline and well wishes to Khar.
