I noted however that the ejection pattern was a bit too vertical and noted the recoil spring felt weaker than it should, which is one of the potential causes of stove pipes in a 1911 style pistol.Ĭonsequently, I ordered a new recoil spring from Wolffe and when it arrived, I noted it was in fact much longer and stiffer than the original, confirming that the original was a weak spring. All of them shot quite well.įunctioning was *almost* perfect with one of the cast hand loads suffering a stove pipe ejection. I put another 50 rounds through it with a 124 gr plated round nose and 124 gr truncate cone cast hand loads. I took it out and put 50 rounds of Hornady 124 gr XTPs through it and noted an average velocity of 1,098 fps from the 3.77" barrel.

There's also a "79" on the right side of the trigger guard, which was used to indicate the year it was made or acquired, as that is consistent with the date of manufacture based on the (original) serial number. In any event, I don't have a high opinion of CAI, and while I'll buy their imports, I won't touch anything they've built from a parts kit on a US receiver.

There is third number farther forward on the right side of the frame put there by CAI after the prefix "SER:" This is a bit of an over reaction to sub regulatory BATF guidance that ‘requires’ an importer not import a firearm that ever had the same serial number as any other firearm they have ever imported – and that language was a bit of an over reaction by BATF. There is a second five digit number on the right side of the frame and slide, which I suspect was a property number for a military or police agency, probably military given that it appears a crest has been milled off in front of the number. The original seven digit serial number is located on the left side of the frame (in 1,500,000 range) between the trigger and the grip panel. The pistol has a total of three “serial” numbers on it. The slide cocking serrations are also reduced in number on these later pistols. At approximately this same serial number a few other shortcuts were used to expedite production – a shorter rollmark/slide legend, coarser polish limited to side of the slide and frame, and all the small parts were given a bead blast matte finish. After serial number 1,560,901 in 1981, all BM pistols were fitted with a ramped and serrated front sight. In general, earlier pieces were more highly polished and later ones were more of a matte finish. The pistols were made without mechanical variation throughout that period, but there may be a lot of different cosmetic variations depending on agency issue and commercial sales.

BM serial numbers ranged from 1,226,501 to somewhere around 1,942,445. Historically speaking, I found that a total of 217,682 Star BM pistols were made between 19. The color case hardened hammer and extractor appealed to my S&W revolver tastes. The pistol was nicely polished and the blued finish still wasn't bad for its age.
The bore is in perfect condition and the locking lugs and recesses show no indications of rounding or wear. It has some honest holster wear but doesn't appear to have been fired much. I picked this up at a local gun shop a couple weeks ago for $249.
