[QUOTE="HiredHand, post: 3544889, member: 2469"] Just a random bit of trivia that an old friend told me about back when I picked up a couple of Star BM pistols. He was a friend of Mr. La France. “The US-based gunsmith Timothy F. La France, the principal of [I]LaFrance Specialties[/I] (formerly of [URL='https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego,_California']San Diego, California[/URL]) used the Star BM pistol as a basis to manufacture a sub-compact custom pistol called the [I]NOVA 6-Pack[/I], basically a Star BM shortened to pocket-size; the [I]NOVA 6-Pack[/I] was manufactured only under custom order in a very small number of samples, and was, at one time, the smallest 9mm handgun in the world.” Source:[URL]http://www.star9mm.com/2017/08/origins-of-star-bm-9mm.html[/URL] [URL]https://www.gunsamerica.com/userimages/96241/913122436/wm_1203320.jpg[/URL] [/QUOTE]
