Hey, I know that the star BM isn’t C&R yet and the B is. Has anyone tried both? It’ll probably be awhile before I can buy anymore guns as my C&R license is supposedly in the mail and I know the couple I am going to buy right away.
But I see that Star Bs can be had for a little under $300 in some cases and a BM is $199 right now (plus figure $50 transfer fee and some shipping). I’ve been trying to read up on issues and I hear some Bs have extractor issues because of being Russian capture and bad fitment. Also B magazines...what is the deal with that? Get one, figure out what style it takes and then track them down?
Does the BM have the same issue? Or does it use one magazine across the line?
I’d love to have a 1911 inspired 9mm, especially for pretty cheap, at some point. But I’d prefer not to be stuck with super expensive magazines and no replacement parts if it ever breaks.
At least the two C&Rs I am looking at getting first, an m57 and P64 seem to have a fair amount of parts offering and they take one standard mag across their production run (and not especially expensive magazine either)
