I have a Star Megastar 45 with Starvel finish. It is a double-stack .45ACP, but essentially just a bigger version of the Firestar.
It is a heavy, robust, over-engineered pistol. I doubt that it would ever suffer a catastrophic failure. The Starvel finish is a very durable hard chrome.
I've heard the guns are made from forgings, but I've never been able to verify this - they look like they are cast to me, since I can see casting marks. In any event, the gun is rock solid, but finishing is not the finest. My Megastar is accurate and reliable. It is also a bit too big for my hands. It weighs about 1.5 times more than it should, and isn't that much smaller than my Desert Eagle 44 magnum.
