Interesting pistol: Star Model B

I used to have the Star BM which is somewhat like an officer sized version of the same gun. Great little weapon! Unfortunately I sold it for a duty weapon, this was before I was getting in to concealed carry

I have some Star pistols.
They are not as nice as Colts, Smiths, and Berettas.
But they are nicer than Tokarevs and CZ52s.

Spanish sure knew how to build firearms. I have a Star 30MI and an Astra 75. Both are solid pistol.

I hate it when I sell a firearm and wind up missing it... I've done that many times in my life.

About 98% of the time for me... including Star BMs, Bs... and most of all, 2 mint PDs.

Few of their handguns are pretty good. I wanted to buy Llama 'Omni' .45 but my fingers proved too short.

I always wanted a Megastar 10mm. As heavy as it is, full power ammo should be no problem. I have a Firestar .45. I've thought about selling it, but it's such a good pistol.

I had a Star Model B many years ago; I think paid about $150 for it back then. Perfectly sized for the 9mm. cartridge and extremely reliable, it was a great gun to teach new shooters with.

I hadn't thought of this model in a long time. I owned one for a few years. Can't remember why I sold it. Mine was a great shooter.

For not a great deal more you can have RIA 1911 9mm. I thought about a Star B as I had a BM and it was dead nuts reliable (sold it to a friend who really wanted it for what I paid for it), but then I think if I just wait three more months I can get a Rock Island. Of course that was before I realized I wanted RIA officer sized .45 1911.

There is a new in box (old stock) nickel plated Star Super B at a local shop that I've been eyeing for a while. One of these days I'll have the cash to burn and fail to talk myself out of it lol.

Wait. Slimmer in the frame and the slide? Other than that functions like a 1911?
WANT!

I have a B Super and a BM. Both are stone reliable, accurate, and easy to shoot. My B Super has the 1947 target still in the box with it. The difference between the A or B Models, and the "Supers" is that the Super Model has a take-down latch.

Thanks, but, in a 9mm, I'll stick to guns designed for them, not adapted from another caliber.

The BM, with it's 3.77" barrel, falls almost between the Commander and the Officer's Model.

Many Super B Models went to the South African Defense Force, and fought the Angolan sponsored rebels for years. They have a reputation for working no matter what.
