This video reviews four handguns that ultimately disappointed the presenter: the Smith & Wesson Model 19 Performance Center Carry Comp, the Sky DVG-1, the Beretta APX Carry, and the Star BM9. Issues ranged from trigger lock-up and customer service neglect with the S&W, to slide lock-back failures with the Sky, light primer strikes with the Beretta, and persistent ejection problems with the Star BM9. The presenter emphasizes that reliability and customer support are crucial for firearms, especially those intended for carry.
This review of the Star BM9 highlights its status as a budget-friendly, Spanish-made military surplus firearm, often compared to a 'mini Hi-Power' due to its all-steel frame and similar controls. While praised for its low recoil and value around $200-$250, the review notes potential reliability issues like failures to eject, particularly with one-handed shooting or older ammunition.
This video is a range review of the Star BM9 surplus pistol. The reviewer compares it to the Browning Hi-Power and notes similarities to the 1911. While the pistol performed well for most of the review, some cycling issues were encountered towards the end, which the reviewer hopes will be resolved after cleaning. The video also includes links to various playlists for handgun reviews, long gun reviews, Second Amendment content, gear reviews, and range test reviews, as well as the reviewer's social media channels.

This guide details the process of removing the magazine disconnect safety from a Star BM9 pistol.
