[Johnny Peppers]

Look at the Star Models A and B and see which pistol inspired their design. It wasn't the German Luger.

Well, maybe Georg Luger not so much, but the P'08 cartridge had some influence!

But saying the Ballister-Rigaud isn't in the 1911 family is the same as saying it's not in the Star family either! It's a happy (for the Argentinians, at least) relative of both.

BTW, why haven't I done some new photos?
