Don't get me started
We don't seem to agree on much, do we?
firestar, if your Star BM turns out to still be reliable when you shoot it a few more times, I see no reason why it shouldn't be at the top of your list for "car gun". The Rap 401 sounds a little "overbuilt" and heavy, but not that that's a bad thing in this day and age
Mak? No, a little too weak, but still a nice gun. Probably the second best choice though as far as reliability. I know of your SMALL reliability problems with your Star model B related to the magazine, have you worked that out?
My only problem with the BM is the short barrel when that is not really necessary for a car gun. But then again, it's also the type of gun you could pull out of the glovebox and carry CCW in an emergency. And yet, with my larger frame, I could do that easily with a full sized gun too.
Have you shot any hollowpoints through your BM yet?
Is the trigger creepy at all?
I guess it all boils down to what pistol you have the most confidence in regarding reliability and being able to hit what you're shooting at.
