Star Firestar pistols
One of my favorite pistols is my "Star M43 Firestar" 9mm pistol. It's small, all-steel construction, SA semi-auto trigger makes for a great pocket pistol ( for it's time, before all the newer poly guns that are available now ).
Back in the day, I carried one for several years as my go-to CCW weapon. I packed the basic blue-steel, rubber gripped model, but also owned a "Starvel" finished one as well.
Now I have several, including the models M40 ( .40 cal. ) and the M45 ( .45acp ). I still see them on gun shop and/or guns show displays. If priced right, I add another one to my to my inventory.
I liked the solid feel and heft of the weapons, which aided in controllability during firing. These guns never failed to feed anything I put thru them.
Every once and a while I pull them out and run some ammo downrange.
Ask me to sell you one - you'll get a quick "NO" response ( when I'm gone, see my wife for the deals !! LOL )

Re: Star Firestar pistols
I should go outside and cut the grass, but "abner13" post has me thinking.
Build myself a two-tone M43, but having one Starvel over Blue finish just doesn't have the look for me
There's always the option to have a frame "Cerakoted".

Re: Star Firestar pistols
The grass will have to wait, I'm out to pop-off a few rounds thru the M43.
Next I'll just have to shoot the M45, but I'll also dig out a Star "PD" as well ( my favorite Star pistol !! )
