The Model 28 was Star's entry to the XM9 pistol trials-- it was rejected because the safety does not drop the hammer. It was then sold here as the Model 30M. There were some guns sold to Saddam Hussein for the Republican Guards, 6800 guns I believe, that could not be delivered because sanctions had dropped between order and shipment-- those pistols ended up being sold here too and are marked Model 30MI. It is usually easier to find info on the 30M. These pistols are built like tanks.

Not being familiar with this model, I will offer my zero cents --
The instructions say to CRAM the firing pin into the little hole, which should force back the swivel detent. Then simply move the safety lever to the extent of it's travel (back?), and draw it out of the slide. You may have to use the FP -- The tapered end may be needed. |

Thanks for the quick response. That was my take on it. I gave it a shot with the firing pin and it didn't seem to make a difference.
@Ductapeman - I got to hold one and fell in love. It's a tank for sure. There's something special about older steel guns. |

The right side safety has a spring loaded detent that has to stay depressed as you slide the whole lever down. The lever has to be in a particular orientation in order to come off the slide while doing this. Sometimes they can be tight, too, which complicates matters. Then you can wiggle the left side out, but realize the extractor spring and its detent is held in by the safety “barrel” and may be eager to vacate the environs.
If you can’t get it, let me know and I’ll dig mine out and shoot some video. |
