PICTURE AT BOTTOM OF PAGE Really old beat up POS pistol, flat gray, says "Star- some unintelligible language- and then SA on the slide. 9x19 Looks like a 1911 Sorry, no pics  Edit/Update Thanks, I think you found it  It looks like this, B model   Anybody own one of these, reliability, performance? It looks like it has not been cleaned or fired in decades. Stay tuned for pics, I'll try to get them up tomorrow

they are decent guns work fine with ball 9mm largo is not terribley hard to find EDIT drr i should read you said 9x19 |
| I am pretty sure it is a STAR model B. I had one for a few years and abused the shit out of it no telling how many rounds of 9mm I put through it over the 3 years I had it . It looked like shit but was reliable as any quality pistol I have ever owned and I regret selling it . I remember paying $100 bucks for it and thought I paid too much but after all the abuse I put it through and neglect to cleaning it functioned like a $1000 pistol I honestly never remember it failing once. I kept in the cargo compartment of my 4 wheeler if that tells you anything. |
I'm a foreigner  Don't make fun of my engrish  I guess I will take it apart and give it a really good cleaning this weekend. |
I live in Texas, and Spanish in unintelligle here also, if you don't speak or read it.

Oh sure...but do you have a pic of this bad mother fuckers wallet???

| Good basic pistol. Although it's patterned after a 1911, there are internal differences: external extractor, pivot trigger and bar and disconnector on right side, no grip safety, the frame is the mainspring housing, no grip screw bushings, firing pin is retained by a pin that you have to remove the rear sight to get to, no plunger tube; both the slide stop and thumb safety have their own detents. The Model B didn't have an inertia firing pin like a 1911, so if you ease the hammer down on a chambered round, it could go off if you dropped the pistol; only safe loaded carry is with the hammer cocked, and the thumb safety on safe. |
