Sorry to bring back an old thread, but for anyone looking at this later, i thought I'd add a few notes on the Star S/SS. I have 3 currently
Great gun, no issues ever. Fits my hands like a glove.
4S Grips has wood grips for cheap prices.
All my Stars have excellent triggers.
Just don't dry fire it. If you do, you will eventually break the firing pin
Any gunsmith can make a firing pin. Or anyone with a lathe.
Some early S's had a longer non-inertial firing pin. These can fire if dropped with hammer down on a live round. You can shorten or replace the firing pin.
You can tap the rear sight out, but you need a sight pusher to reinstall it without damaging the adjuster screw
Anytime you see one under $275, buy it.
Makarov flap holsters fit these perfectly. Also any holster made for a Colt 380 Government
