Star Model BKS 9mm (1326699)

Description Star Model BKS 9mm Serial#1326699 Manufactured by Star Bonifacio Echeverria in Spain, the Model BKS (often referred to as the “Starfire” or “B Series Compact”) carries the unmistakable lines of the 1911 platform while streamlining the design for lighter, simpler operation. Chambered in 9×19mm, this pistol omits the grip safety but retains a single-action trigger, thumb safety, and 1911-style ergonomics that feel familiar in the hand. Built on an all-steel frame with tight, reliable lock-up, the Star BKS offers solid weight for recoil control and a clean, crisp break typical of Star pistols from this era. Compact and well-balanced, it’s a strong choice for collectors, range shooters, or anyone who appreciates historic semi-autos that still perform beautifully at the range.
