The Star BM-9 makes for a lightly smaller and lighter 1911 pattern piece. They can be had for the price of two dead Benjamins these days as Century just brought in a boatload of arsenal refurbished Spanish police trade-ins.
ReplyDeleteHey there M. Thanks for the tip. I much appreciate it.

Several vendors are retailing them. Both Classic Firearms, J&G as well as a few others are offering them around the same price. J&G is selling some nice wood grips for them too. Really dresses them up. Look at the pix of the grips on this link.

I am going to order a set of the grips for mine. I recently picked up an early import in near new condition (8 out of 10?) without all the ugly C.A.I markings at my local Cabelas here in Maine for the same price. The trigger on the thing is exquisite.
Regards, Michael
Michael is spot on. The Star BM-9 is a great gun. I got one some years back and it is a sweet pistol.
