The Star Model B was a 1911-pattern pistol chambered in 9mm Luger, adopted by the Spanish military and widely exported. Based closely on the Browning 1911 design, it lacked a grip safety but incorporated a frame-mounted thumb safety. The Model B served as Spain's primary service pistol for decades and saw action in the Spanish Civil War and WWII (German contracts). It is a well-made, robust pistol that remains popular with collectors and shooters.
