The BM is conceptually similar to the Colt Commander, being a shortened version of Star’s take on the 1911. Introduced in 1972, production of this model ran until 1992, with approximately 217,682 examples being manufactured. This is a very practical design which proved fairly popular due to its size, build quality, features and price. The Star pistol seen here is their mid-size BM in 9mm Parabellum. It is a compact and handy piece which performed well on the range. The BM is chambered for 9mm Parabellum and was produced until 1992 with over 217,000 pieces manufactured. In the years and decades that followed Star would produce a variety of models in different calibers and sizes. The Model 1922 sported a frame mounted safety, but like the Model 1920, dispensed with the 1911’s grip safety. The Model 1920 was only produced for one year, and the following Model 1922 was a better looking piece, closer to the Colt. 38 Auto, it was a bit ungainly looking and sported an unattractive slide mounted safety. The Star Model 1920 was the company’s first stab at imitating Colt, and it fell a bit short. He would move away from the Ruby-style pistols and begin manufacturing clones of the recently introduced Colt 1911. In the years that followed he decided to take the company in a different direction. With the end of World War I came the cancellation of Bonifacio’s lucrative French military contract building 7.65mm Ruby pistols.
