This video delves into the history and features of the Star Model A Carbine. Introduced as a commercial variant of military trial pistols, it was adopted by the Spanish Guardia Civil. The carbine version, developed to compete with the Mauser C96 in the Chinese market, featured an extended barrel, a shoulder stock, and was chambered in 7.63mm Mauser. Despite these features, it failed to gain significant sales and was discontinued. The description also touches upon its predecessor's military trials and domestic adoption.
This video examines a Spanish-made copy of the Savage automatic pistol, produced in the Eibar region known for its pistol manufacturing during WWI and the Spanish Civil War. While externally resembling the Savage, the internal mechanism is a simple blowback design similar to the Ruby pistols, rather than the Savage's semi-locked rotating barrel system. Key visual cues like slide serrations, barrel jacket, and safety lever are highlighted as attempts to mimic the original Savage.
