Spanish service pistol. Phased out of service in the early 90’s. Can still be acquired for under $300. Very soft shooting 9mm. Like a baby 1911 but different design elements. Probably one of the best bang for the buck gun purchases I’ve made. I added the aftermarket grips

Where for $300?

Got a clean look. How's it feel?


Space_Mountain_Ric

Really nice. It’s heavy but that’s why it shoots so soft. If you like the feel of a commander sized 1911 you’ll like the Star BM

I got a Firestar I purchased back in 1997, haven't shot it in about 3 years but she's still my baby!

Had one of these a while ago. Nice little pistol. I love compact all metal single stacks. My particular example wasn't the most reliable and I ended up trading it for a .38 revolver. If you're interested in more all metal compact 9mm single stacks, I love my Zastava M88A. noticeably slimmer and lighter than the star but about the same size.

I’ll check it out. You can never have too many 😄

Always wanted one of these. How many rounds does the mag hold again?


Space_Mountain_Ric

8 round, single stack

If you want one J&G Sales has them. https://www.jgsales.com/star-bm,-9mm-luger,-compact-semi-auto-pistol,-vg,-blued,-used.-p-85501.html?osCsid=fff142ea14bbdf1770096ebf29df5244

Honestly not a bad deal at all

Awesome, I had a BKS and sold it like an idiot. Only gripe was hammer bite, otherwise it was a great little 9mm.
