Ballester-Molina

Post by blackblade »

I picked up a couple Argentine Ballester-Molinas recently as they do show up once in a while and these were in pretty good condition.

Ballester-Molina #2

They are a bit heavy (all steel) but feel good in the hand. Good thing that some parts (barrel, magazines, etc.) interchange with the 1911 Colt guns. They make nice C&R additions.

Congratuations on getting a couple of the BM's, you have a nice looking pair of Ballester Molina's, IMO they are nice pistols, I use GI 7rd mags in mine, however I do have one of the original mags w/matching # on the base plate. T

Nice guns - I might have to get a pair of the rosewood grips for mine.
