    Star Model BM

    Anybody looked at the Star Model BM pistol? Century Int. just brought in a pile of these out of Italyicon. Really nice shooters and very well made. They were rebuilt and many have new barrels on them. My nephew just bought one and we have gone out shooting twice. I'm getting right now. A real pleasure to shoot.

    Not the best quality ever, but sure value for money. Light, handy, accurate, easy to carry and conceal. Will take one immediately if I could.

    Actually, I am impressed with the quality. Milled steel and nicely finished. No sharp corners and well finished under the grips. They are indeed accurate and don't have any problems with the 9mm recoil. The big import locally, I thought the South African Army had a pile. This that correct?

    I owned one a year or so ago. Mine came with the original box and two mags...plus the wrong style/type cleaning rod...no manual. Mine was a fair clean used Star BM. Shot perfectly and was very decent for accuracy and sight regulation with ball ammo. Had the milled-off ownership marks as most do.

    I traded it for a Frenchicon MAS M1936. Should've kept that Star BM tho

    Another Star BM from the batch imported by CAI. My nephew got one... he let me shoot it, and so...

    Just a nice size and weight for a 9mm pistol. Shoots good and it's not plastic. It's a well made pistol, puts the bullets where the sights say they will be. Box, book, couple of spare mags for a couple hundred bucks...Several hundred rounds of WWB later, I still like mine.

    Same story here. My nephew bought one and now I have one. Nice shooter and puts the bullet where I want it to go, good gun at cheap price.
