Just received a Star BM9 from J & G Sales. Started reading about these surplus guns (made in Spain) after seeing one in a gun store last weekend.
Has a great reputation and was made from 1972 to 1992. Mine was made in 1977.
Here is a picture of the right side featuring an external extractor.
The grips were offered by J & G for only$29.95. They really dress up an already nice gun (paid a little extra for a select pick). Got two extra magazines coming.
Will try to get to the range in a couple of days and try it out.
Has a great trigger pull (hinged instead of straight back like a regular 1911). Has no grip safety and is very easy to break down. Weighs 34.9 oz. and the magazine holds 8 rounds. Has a 4" barrel and is sort of like a Combat Commander.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
