The Star BM pistol is powerful and easy to shoot and use for sport or self-protection. The BM range of pistols represents excellent value for money with the virtually indestructible alloy frame and superior barrels proving that good accuracy and reliability can be affordable.

The Star Model BM is a single-action semi-automatic pistol that fires the 9 mm Parabellum pistol cartridge. It was produced by Star Bonifacio Echeverria, S.A. in Spain. Although its external appearance resembles the classic M1911, its design is different in several respects. For example, the Star does not have the 1911’s grip safety. In addition, the thumb safety on the Star BM blocks the hammer, whereas it blocks the motion of the sear on 1911. The pistol is fed by an 8-round detachable box magazine.

This pristine pistol started life in 1977 as a really nice Star BM already in great condition. It has been professionally coated with Cerakote Cobalt (color) by JS Gunwerks. Altamont grips in super rosewood double diamond pattern were added. As shown in the picture, this is an exceptional piece and the barrel is almost perfect with sharp rifling throughout. This pistol also comes with 2 additional original Star magazines.

History

A total of 217,682 Star BM pistols were made between 1972 and 1992. BM serial numbers ranged from 1,226,501 to somewhere around 1,982,884. The pistols were made without mechanical variation throughout that period, but there may be a lot of different cosmetic variations depending on agency issues and commercial sales. In general, earlier pieces were more highly polished and later ones were more of a matte finish. After serial number 1,560,901 in 1981, all BM pistols were fitted with a ramped and serrated front sight. At approximately this same serial number a few other shortcuts were used to expedite production – a shorter roll mark/slide legend, coarser polish limited to the side of the slide and frame, and all the small parts were given a bead blast matte finish.

The slide cocking serrations are also reduced in number on these later pistols. There have been at least four importers of ex-Spanish BMs to the United States: Garcia Sporting Arms, Interarms, PW Arms, and Century International Arms. Most imports in the US are arms that were traded in by various Spanish military branches to Star in exchange for newer model 28/30M and 28/30PK pistols. For the Interarms imports, Star reworked all these trade-ins prior to selling them to Interarms. Spain’s Guardia Civil used BM’s up through about 1990 or so as did many other police agencies in Europe and Latin America. Importers like Interarms got a hold of them when the agencies traded up to more modern designs.

The US-based gunsmith Timothy F. La France, the principal of LaFrance Specialties (formerly of San Diego, California) used the Star BM pistol as a basis to manufacture a sub-compact custom pistol called the NOVA 6-Pack, basically, a Star BM shortened to pocket-size; the NOVA 6-Pack was manufactured only under custom order in a very small number of samples, and was, at one time, the smallest 9mm handgun in the world.

In the motion-picture industry, particularly in the filming of war movies, a Star Model B pistol would often substitute for a Colt 1911, since the former works more reliably with blank ammunition, and the two appear quite similar from a distance.

A handful of star BM variants was created, including the BKS and BKM. Mechanically they were identical, with the only difference being a frame made out of alloy rather than steel.

The highly accurate and reliable Star BM range of pistols is manufactured under the concept of ‘One pistol, One life’ because no one accompanies you for every step of your life. The product delivers a faithful full service to sports stars as well as security agencies.

The Star BM has been known by many names. It is sometimes called the Billionaire because of its quality and the expensive materials used in each newly manufactured pistol. This model stands out among handguns for home protection, self-defense, and concealed carry. Mid-profile acquisition sites permit proper sight alignment on target for confidence shooting scenarios. Each bullet is locked in at the moment it’s seated permitting a reduced amount of undesired shakes or movement that would affect the accuracy potential
