drf, Your pistol is part of the XSE Series, brought out by Colt in 2000 to add a little pizzaz to their line. There were four XSE versions: the Government SS, the Concealed Carry Officers SS, the Commander SS, and the LWT Commander SS. Each of these versions is enhanced, i.e., has some extra...

Best for me was a few months ago when I bought a 99% condition S&W 2.5" M66-2 .357 magnum for only $175 from my favorite pawn shop. That made six S&Ws that I've bought from those guys, all well under book values, but none as low as this one. I'd like to think that I'm a special customer, but...

Dave, Thanks much for your detailed post on the Star B systems. I droped a copy off to my gunsmith a few hours ago, along with my second BM. Best regards, Jack

Thanks Shoobe01 ! Shoobe01, Thanks for the info and links. When I tested the BM for first few rounds ammo feed, and subsequent de-cocking, I thought something was wrong with the gun. But it was only the "mag safety" at work locking up the mechanism after removal of the mag. Did you...

Dave, From your photo (and thanks for showing it), I see what appears to be some holster wear on the edges around and behind the muzzle area, plus a few small dings scattered around on the slide. In my case, both the BMs have extensive wear, plus a large number of dings, scratches, and...

Posts have been positive on Star BM Well, all the several posts so far have been positive on this mid-size semi-auto. So, I confess, I went back to the Pasadena gun show this afternoon and bought another one - this time for only $160. And it has a slightly better finish than the one I bought...

I recalled a Gun Test magazine article a year or so ago on the Star 9mm Model BM semi-auto. Surprisingly to me, it got good marks from Todd, because that monthly publication (no advertisements) is fairly critical of most of the brands/models it tests and reviews. In the last few gun shows...

Sensei, There's only two that I've bought from: Cash America - on Bay Area Blvd near James Coney Island Hotdogs, the other (forget the name) on Hwy 146 just down from FM 518 intersection. The latter one has the most guns, but the CA one is who I've dealt with the most. They currently have a...

I went to the Pasadena show this past weekend, buying a blue Colt Delta Elite 10 mm one day, and a Colt 4" nickel Python the next. Both were in 98+% condition with good haggled-down prices. The turnout was slightly less than normal, but there were deals to be had, both from the large and small...
