In 1898 B\u00fcchel designed the model Stern target pistol. It was introduced in 1907 as a shorter range (25 meter) Kunstsch\u00fctzenpistole. These were generally simpler made pistols for a fast-growing target shooting market.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The front sight is stationed on a ramp – typical of B\u00fcchel sights which allows different types of front sights <\/em>to be inserted. With the increased popularity of the more powerful .22lr cartridge, the pistol was also used as a Scheibenpistole at 50 meters. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Stern was a popular pistol in Europe and the US, where it was sold by most big mail order companies and gun-dealers. In the US, it was imported and sold by the New York based company Stoeger.
