Hello. I have had good luck with STAR pistols over the years. My very first handgun purchased as an adult was a 9mm STAR Model B, which I foolishly sold in the early 1970's. I was able to replace it (sort of) with one from the last production runs. I had it customized and still shoot it now and again.

For several years I carried a 9mm STAR Model 43 Firestar as as a backup gun while a police officer. It served well.
I have a couple of customized STAR Model 28's that group very nicely.
STAR pistols have served me nicely over the years. I regret that they are no longer in production.
Best.
