It can be done, but it is not advisable-and: it probably won't work well, bulges the brass, and could be unsafe.
Most 9mm largo autos can safely shoot the .38 auto round, if you can find it. The breech face may need to be opened slightly for .38 auto.
A later model Star, in good condition should be able to handle .38 super pressures without problems. The steel is good, the design is strong-but consult a REAL gunsmith first to make sure there are no problems with the gun. The super and largo pressures are very close.
DON'T USE .38 SUPER WITHOUT HAVING THE GUN CHECKED FIRST!
