I'm thinking about getting a couple more of these now that carrying in a vehicle is pretty much legal in Texas without a CHL:
Star Modelo BM, 9mm
Nice little 1911 based pistol made by Star in Spain. It's too bad they went out of business, as I'd love to get a couple of these new. They can be had for less than $200 in varying conditions. I purchased two at a surplus store in Fort Worth a couple years ago. They are pretty reliable. One needs the extractor replaced (which I was able to find from Numrich gun parts) and the slide stop is iffy holding the slide open on the last round. The other had a tweaked recoil assembly causing it not to go into full battery. Numrich had replacement assemblies, so I snagged one. Swapped a couple parts between the two, and one is running great, the other is iffy, so I'll use it for parts.
They're accurate, recoil is mild as it's an all-steel pistol, and the trigger is GREAT. They fit well in Commander size 1911 holsters, but are slightly skinnier.
I'd like to get another two or three, so I can have one for carry, one for night stand duty and one to take/leave in the car.
