Clarification on my opinion of later model Stars. I bought a Firestar in 9mm and other than being very heavy for it's size, I liked it. Until I began carrying it. It rusted daily. I'd clean the rust off it at night and the next evening it would be a mass of rust again on the side next to my body. Couldn't stop it. It even ruined some of my clothes.
Never had this happen with any sidearm before or since. Star simply chose the wrong steel IMO.
Sold it, cheap, with most of the finish missing from the left side of the pistol.
Shot reasonably well though.
