I have a lot of history with the Star's.
I carried a PD in Law Enforcment for years. Wore it out, sold it and bought another that I carry today. Accurate, reliable, safety locks the hammer (1911 it only locks the sear).
I also have a LaFrance NOVA, built on the BKM but cut down smaller than a PPK. I also carried that 'on the job', and still carry it in the summer in a pants pocket.
LaFrance bought so many BKMs (alloy frame 9mm), Star sent two guys over who looked at what he did, and bought two. About 2 years later they came out with the Firestar, but had to use a steel frame which makes it a tad too heavy (I have one of these as well).
Too bad they went under, they were high quality guns in their day.
