Star, Bonifacio Model 30M1

This big steel 9mm is sweet!!! I took her home yesterday and ran a few mags through. 9mm ball doesn't kick much in a 40 oz gun and the smooth da/sa trigger and great sights make for one fine shooting pistola. I don't shoot much anymore but I had a ball yesterday. Just shot up a couple of cans. Oh and I did cut down a small pine tree. Hey I gotta get rid of all this 9mm ammo somehow. Well I need to take some pictures and get her listed.

It is . I was thinking Ken might be interested but as you know he has tiny hands and I don't think he would be able to hold on to it. 🤣🤣🤣😈😈😈

I thought Ken was a 40 S&W man.   They are big and with tiny hands it would be a handfull no pun intended.

One of the last pistols, that Star designed and sold. Before they went out of business in the 90's. They actually quit making them, years before they went out of business, (Spanish proof mark will show date). The Glock's had pretty much, took over the European military and police market(s) at that time. The M-31 was a 39 oz steel clunker, compared to the 24 oz Glock 17.

If it's not a collectors item now, it will be. Not all that many, were ever exported and sold in the States. Their size and weight,  compared to other hi-cap 9's then on the market. Were to much of a negative. I've seen relatively few over the years.
