Bart,

The term "Black Widow" was given to the late P08's with plastic grips and mag bottoms by a dealer who couldn't sell the pistols as few collectors wanted the pistols with the plastic grips. The term caught on, and demand for the pistols went up. A "Black Widow" will have plastic grips and mag bottom.
