Greetings all. Just registered and this is my first posting.
I recently found and bought a used first generation (Garcia import) Star PD. Always wanted one, now I have one. Great little compact 45....alloy frame, no grip safety. Everything you want in a 45.
Well, the first thing I did was order a complete 'service pack' from Wolff. When it arrived, it appeared the recoil spring was waaaay too long. I phoned Wolff and they said no, it should be correct.
Anyway, does anyone know how to disassemble the captive recoil spring on a Star PD? I can't figure it out. Is the guide rod a two piece affair? Does it unscrew somehow?
I can't even get the thing apart to see if the spring I have is proper or not!
Thanks for your input.
Jim
