Star Pistol Serial Numbers

Star used to put the serial number on the butt of the gun next to the magazine well, but when the serial number sequence got to 1 million, they moved it up to the side of the frame (left side) - so the 7 digit number is your serial number.

It’s always good to be reunited with an old friend — or, in this case, an old acquaintance: the Star Model BM single-action 1911-style 9mm pistol. The Star Model B and the Star Model BM once served as service arms for the Spanish National Guard (La Guardia Civil). Century Arms International recently acquired a quantity of military-issue Star BMs and is making them available to civilian purchasers.

The 9mm Star Model B is a full-sized 1911-style pistol that has had a role in Hollywood on shows such as M*A*S*H*, where it doubled for the Colt.45 1911. Back then, it was difficult to get the low-pressure 1911.45 to cycle with the blanks available.

However, the higher-pressure 9mm Star Model B would cycle just fine with 9mm blanks. You can easily spot the Star Model B stand-in due to the external extractor and the blued (rather than Parkerized) finish. To prove that things don’t always translate well from one language to another, note the model name “BM” for the Star pistol reviewed here. The 9mm Star BM is a shortened, medium “Commander”-sized Model B. The word “medio” or “mediano” is Spanish for medium.

I’m assuming that “BM” simply means “Model B Medium.” I am sure the Star company (which sadly went out of business in 1997) had no inkling what that model name might sound like in English. The Star Model B, or maybe the BM, was the first 9mm pistol I ever fired some 37 years ago — which is why I don’t remember with certainty which model it was. I was a brand-new auxiliary sheriff’s deputy and was looking for an off-duty handgun. My search took me to a small gun shop in the nearby town of Pataskala, Ohio. The owner had a used Star 9mm for sale. I had never fired one, so he took me down to the basement where he had a large steel plate hanging from the upstairs floor joist.

He loaded up a magazine of standard FMJ ammo and let me shoot at the plate. There was no ventilation or backstop other than the plate, nor was there any frangible ammo available to use. I fired the magazine without incident, but decided against the purchase, as I was still not familiar with the Star brand. While I didn’t own a Star Model B or BM, I did later own a.45 ACP Star PD, which was an aluminum-framed compact pistol that I carried on the narcotics unit.

It was a great undercover piece and functioned very reliably; I never had a malfunction with it. I can’t say the same of various Colt 1911s of the era, unless their feed ramps and chamber mouths had been smoothed by a gunsmith after purchase. The Star BM is a battle-proven, all-steel 9mm built to military specifications that weighs in at 34 ounces.

Overall length is 7.25 inches, and height is 5.063 inches. Barrel length is 3.77 inches and the plain black sights are fixed, although the rear is drift-adjustable for windage.

Magazine capacity is 8 rounds. Finish is an attractive matte, almost bright blue, and the grips on my sample are checkered black plastic. The frame is smooth front and rear. Surprisingly, the spur hammer is color case hardened.

The grooved trigger and barrel are left in the white, and the trigger pull is quite crisp. Overall fit and finish are VERY good. The Star B series of pistols, like the Star PD, are single-action and are designed to be carried cocked and locked. However, unlike the Colt 1911s, there is no grip safety; only a prominent and smooth thumb safety. Because of the lack of a grip safety, I carried my Star PD in an IWB holster with thumb break while on the narcotics unit. The thumb break blocked the firing pin while the hammer was cocked. This made me more comfortable with the gun as I carried it to the right of my belt buckle to avoid detection and to speed the draw.

This positioned the muzzle near my — well, you can imagine. However, between the solid safety and thumb break, I wasn’t concerned. I don’t recall the safety ever being accidentally disengaged. I recommend a thumb break holster that blocks the firing pin if you choose to carry a Star Model B, BM or PD. I was thrilled with the condition of the Star BM when it arrived. It was packed in its original matching serial number La Guardia Civil cardboard box.

Also included in the box was an all-Spanish set of directions and an original cleaning rod. The finish was excellent and showed zero signs of holster wear. It definitely isn’t some beat-up war trophy. I took the Star to the range with SIG Sauer 115-grain FMJ practice and 124-grain V-Crown defensive loads. The V-Crown is not a +P loading, which is ideal for use in a pistol that could be anywhere from 25 to 45 years old. While the Star BM is designed to run with hot 9mm NATO loads, I wouldn’t use them or equivalent +P or +P+ loads in the Star just because they accelerate wear in a pistol that is long out of production. The Star BM is an excellent shooter.
