Found this spot on my star pistol frame

Looks like a crack filled with fingerprint DNA.

Scrub it with solvent and a brush.

Then post a better picture.

Still looks like a cracked frame to me.

Find a gunsmith and get a second opinion though.

Crack, gross tool mark, manufacturing imperfectioon ... Is it static or getting worse?

Enjoy shooting the gun and monitor the indication. You can always get it checked and repaired as necessary maybe, but I'd guess any custom repair work will be a significant portion of the cost of the gun.

that area (on the trigger guard) is not under any stress from the firing of the gun......i highly doubt it is a stress induced crack. nor is it in an area critical to the safety of the firearm.

personally i would have any reservations about shooting it.

if you are really concerned, you can spend $60 and get a liquid dye penetrant testing kit and see if its a crack or not.....
