About the Gun

The model B pistol is the 9 mm Parabellum/Luger variant of the Star's original series of 1911-fashined pistols. This model most closely resembles the modern 1911 style, with the exception of having no grip safety. The Super B variant has internal improvements, such as a SIG style one-piece integral barrel locking ramp rather than the classic two-piece 1911 linkage, and a full length guide rod with captive spring.

About the Cartridge

This cartridge was introduced along with the Luger semi-automatic pistol. The pistol and cartridge was first adopted by the German Navy in 1904 and then by the German Army in 1908. This cartridge has since been adopted by the military of practically every non-Communist power. It has become the most popular and widely-used handgun cartridge in the world. Performance wise, the 9 mm cartridge has somewhat more power than the .38 Special but falls well short of the .357 Magnum.

Fun 1911 clone in 9mm
By Diecapsule78 on 07 Apr 2020
This pistol is fun to shoot. Has a classic 1911 look to it & handles quite nicely without much recoil being a 9mm & not a true .45 1911.
