Has anyone been able to replace the BM's stock sights with something easier/quicker to acquire ? FYI-The Crimson Trace 1911 or Officer size lasergrips don't fit. Also, has anyone tried a "home refinishing" product such as Brownells Gun-Kote on their Star. Thanks...
What?
I had been in Galyan's a week before, looking at a Browning Buckmark pistol. I walked back in last week and thought I had missed the biggest sale of the century. I still spent about five minutes looking at the price tags in the glass cases to refresh my memory. It must have looked pretty...
Questions about the Arcus.
Hey,
I'm thinking about buying the Arcus Compact (Single Action) and I have a few questions.
1. What is the single action trigger like ? The trigger itself is physically different from a "traditional " single action, i.e. 1911. Does the trigger pivot at the top...
Looking for STar BM magazines.
Hey,
I'm looking for spare magazines for my Star BM. Numrich has them for $27.85 each :fire: I think I saw them somewhere for $12-$15, but can't find the site. Any suggestions ?
Thanks...

Now the fun begins.
I have a couple of questions.
1. How much disassembly is required to use one of the DIY home Parkerizing kits ?
2. Where would I take it to be sand blasted/glass beaded ?
3. Has anyone improved/replaced the sights on their BM ? If so, what did you do ?
Thanks...
Star BM problems.
----Ant Mod---- Thanks, it is the magazines. I called AIM and they said if I send them my mags they'll send me replacements.
Has anybody used the Novum re-blueing product mtnbkr mentioned ?
That would be an inexpensive way to go. I also want to replace or restore the...
Magazine not dropping.
I recieved my Star BM today. Took it to the range and liked how it handled. The magazines need to be pulled from the grip though. I had read Stephen Camp's post about removing the magazine disconnect, so I gave it a try. I still have to pull the magazine, with some force...
O.K., I bit.
Hey Guys,
I've been watching this thread for a while, but finally broke down and ordered a Star BM from AIM tonight. It sounds like I should expect the finish to be rough but the mechanics to be good. Are there any Do-it-yourself refinishing kits or do I need a gunsmith ...
Model B reliability question.
Does anyone know how reliable the Model B's are ?
__Oracle___ Does your wife's gun function properly ?
I'm wondering if the safety stays in the locked or unlocked position as it should. Nothing like carrying cocked and unlocked without knowing it...
Thanks.
:(
Thanks for the tips. I'll try the sock trick tonight. Just dissapointed that it didn't fit right out of the "box". I won't do anything too drastic, in case I end up returning it.
I did loosen the tension screw to the point that it was rattling but it was still too tight.
Just...
I recieved my HighNoon Speedy Spanky paddle holster yesterday. It really is a well made holster, but it is too tight for the S40. I've seen posts that said any holster made for the M series will work for the S series. That makes sense since the difference between the two is in slide length and...
S40 Holsters
---sturmruger---
The thread you referenced here says that your Bianchi Minimalist 105 was quite a bit tighter with the "S" series as compared to the "M" series. Are you using the 105 for the S40 ? If so, did it need some breaking in ? Is the holster more loose now with the "M"...
"Brownie pop."

I saw a thread elsewhere on THR where you offered an emailed description of your "brownie pop" technique. I'd like to recieve it if you don't mind.
Thanks...
Holsters
-----SouthpawShootr----
I live 30 minutes south of Richmond. I was at the gunshow today. I checked out three holster booths on the back of the left wall, but I'm not sure I saw his booth. One was Gunner's Alley, the other booth sold some factory holsters. There was a guy back there...
