I think I read a long time ago that the Star BM9 and most all Spanish semi 9mm auto pistols were designed around military ball ammo as that was the only bullet allowed and this is true in a lot of European countries.
Dixie Pawn on Veterans Memorial in Mableton had an attempted robbery while open today and the quick thinking owner turned the tables on them and shot and killed one of the perps but the other got away. Good quick thinking owner.
