 Hey there friends, thanks for checking in continuing on with my budget series today We're looking at a star BM 9 Check that out a Spanish made military surplus gun. Why is it in the budget series? Well, people were picking this up between 200 and $250 I picked it up for 230. I think it's great now. I've often considered it a Mini high power and that is because it has an all steel frame many of the same controls It actually looks like it to a degree If you look at the fore end there, it is chambered in nine millimeter single action trigger I'm measuring right at five pounds has the same positioning with the thumb safety and it looks Similar with the hammer eight round single-stack magazine Magazine disconnect right here much like the high power It has a barrel bushing right there. You'll notice with the disassemble 3.8 inch barrel and overall pretty nice handgun very much a budget handgun and This has performed very well. I recall it's been a while since I've had this out So let's go ahead and take a few shots here and there we go This was produced in 1979 and that is because it is stamped right there on top of the trigger guard 1979 so it is an old gun and I I actually like it, you know star has the the b9 the larger one and The bm9 let's try the bm9 One-handed and I had a hang up here. I'm not surprised by that actually Didn't like to slide back Yeah, failure to eject and the reason why I'm not surprised It's because I Had this issue before and I'm pretty sure it was with the one hand And and that's it but look at what's laying on top of that follower of the mag So having a little trouble ejecting. Let's go ahead and turn the camera around. It is very low recoil with that all steel frame It actually disassembles much like a high power as well So it just continues on in my eyes to be a mini high power But I'll go ahead and load it up and we'll turn the camera around I want to show you the trigger pull it is unloaded. It has magazine disconnect So I have to do it this way and we'll Drop the slide and here is the reset very 1911 ish and I like that it even has barrel lugs in there You'll see on the the disassemble that it does have barrel lugs that Keep the barrel nice and tight and aids with accuracy Another hang up here when I Took this gun out of the safe. I made sure it was properly lubed Yep failure to eject so some of the issues that you may have with a Older an older fire and that that one felt weird. So I'm gonna check this Even further We'll drop the mag. No reason to do a limperous test with This handgun So far anyways and that's it So for a Spanish military surplus gun This one is in really nice shape. You see a lot of these that kind of look beat up But this one still has the bluing on it. You can see that it does have polymer grips there But overall, I still like the handgun. Okay, so it had some issues at the range those were 124 grain ball ammo by the way nine millimeter, but I like that short trigger pull and I like the overall feel of it this gun has some heft behind it and What can you say for for 200 230 dollars? You really can't go wrong if You clean up some of those issues that many people have by the way You'll find that it's a real nice shooter if you like videos like this, please subscribe and share I always appreciate thumbs up button.
