 Hey there friends. Thanks for checking in at the range now and today. We're looking at my star BM 9 Very similar to a Browning high power. I consider this to a degree a High-power subcompact now it does have a four-inch barrel all steel frame a single-action trigger with an eight round magazine that does have a magazine disconnect But it mimics many of the features of The high-power what makes this ultra attractive is how much it was selling for it was around 230 bucks and I'm impressed with it, and I've been impressed with it now. It does have a five pound trigger Obviously single-action only does have a thumb safety Right there that is engaged because I have a round in the chamber But it also has a magazine disconnect which does not allow me to fire that round the thumb safety Already engaged, but it's meant to be carried cocked in lock so a total of nine rounds Blacked out sights all across, but I have found it to be accurate and Reliable for an incredible price that many people were picking this up for and I've I've seen it even around $200 now. This is a military surplus gun. It was in the hands of Law enforcement and military and it's a maiden Spain So in Spain no civilians use it and this was made in 79 So let me stop yapping here. We'll take a few shots and see how I do with this star BM 9 Yeah, just as I remember it impressive gun For the money and even if it was more money, it would still be an impressive handgun Now when I first got it I didn't know the year that it was produced But it it's stamped right there on the trigger guard right on the top side there. It says 79 So this was actually made in 79. This one is an excellent condition It really is you look at some of them. There's a lot of slide where You know chips and scratches throughout this one not so much. So I'm really happy to have it Another thing that makes it similar to the high power is the disassemble it disassembles the exact same way And it does have an all steel guide rod and a captured Recoil spring along with the magazine disconnected. I don't find too attractive, but that does mimic The high power So let me go ahead and we'll try some one-handed shooting here And that's it these were typically coming with One mag But being that it's a surplus gun It is out there It's a good looking gun or I shall say I should say mags are out there From what I could tell single stack nine millimeter handgun The star bm9 has a barrel bushing there that needs to be disassembled. I'm not going to take the gun down entirely But I will show you once you dis or once you engage the thumb safety The pin just drops out and then you Take it off and you can see what you're looking at Does have a link like a 1911 and the four inch barrel Let me take a few shots And then I will turn the camera around. I'm using cheap reloads that I picked up Probably a year ago So we'll see how It looks like I have a double feed So I'll lock the slide back And I will Let that round or case drop out And I'll go ahead and turn the camera around Picked up a explorer recently 2015 Explorer I'm not big on Buying new vehicles I Disengaged the thumb safety. Let's see how And I have another double feed We're going to try this again with some factory ammo that I that I have Get out of there I have I have one round left But now I have fjoki 115 grain ball ammo Whoa boy, so maybe it wasn't the rounds that I had There goes one out of The mag that's okay Thumb safety, here we go All right, so I have a little issue here I was talking about how much I enjoy the star and I do But I need to clean it up because right now it is not ejecting Properly on we'll try it one more time See what's going on here so There it is my star bm 9 made in 1979 I do enjoy it. I have to say Probably needs a good bath And I'll have this out again and see if it can perform a little better But it has not experienced or I have not experienced any issues until today Go figure you turn the camera on and this is what happened, but It's real And I still love the gun If you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
