Star Model BM SA 9mm Semi-Auto

Description

THIS PARTICULAR ONE IS FROM 1979 AND FIRES LIKE A BEAUTY
The Star Model BM is a single-action semi-automatic pistol that fires the 9 mm Para pistol cartridge. It was produced by Star Bonifacio Echeverria, S.A. in Spain. Although its external appearance resembles the classic M1911, its design is different in several respects. For example, the Star does not have the 1911’s grip safety. In addition, the thumb safety on the Star disengages the sear, whereas it blocks the motion of the sear on a 1911. The pistol is fed by an 8-round detachable box magazine. 

This model is NOT C&R eligible as it was manufactured between 1972 and 1992

So visually reminiscent of the Colt 1911 that it, as well as its predecessor the Model B,  is often used in movies as a substitute, the Star Model BM has a classic style that appeals to the John Moses Browning fan in all of us. While the Star BM may mimic the 1911 it is not a clone- there are several differences between the guns, most obviously caliber, as the Star Model BM fires the more economical 9×19 mm, and the lack of a grip safety. The takedown process is also slightly different. But the famous Browning design still shines through in the look, feel, and operation of Star pistol. 

The Star Model BM is a single action, short recoil pistol, manufactured with an all steel frame and slide, checkered plastic grips, thumb safety, and an 8 round magazine.
