Vlim is correct about the "Black Widow" term. It was invented by a well known Luger collector and salesman named Ralph Shattock many years ago because the plastic grip Mauser Lugers weren't selling. The name caught on and now the black plastic grips are desirable to some people. The name has no basis in fact.
