The Star Model BM is a single-action semi-automatic pistol that fires the 9mm Para pistol cartridge. It was produced by Star Bonifacio Echeverria, S.A. in Spain. Manufactured with an all steel frame and slide, checkered grips, thumb safety, and an 8 round magazine.
the Star Model BM has a classic style that appeals to the John Moses Browning, so similar to the 1911 in appearance that chances are your favorite movie scene featuring the 1911 was probably a Star Model B instead! The Star Model B was widely used in the film industry for prop guns due to the cost and availability from the 1960's on. 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 9x19 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.
These are surplus pistols so be aware each one in stock will vary in some way and may not be exactly as pictured with grip panels or finish wear.
