Quoted: I have the single stack 9MM Star. It has been a very nice pistol. Did Star go out of buisness or just loose their importer?

From what I understand they actually went out of business, they did a Spanish govt equivlant of a chapter 7 bankruptcy. Everything was liquidated, extra parts, molds, machine tools everything. I heard a rumor one time that Astra was former Star employees that started it, but again just a rumor. Interarms I think had extra parts at one time, but they were very limited and everything was bought up,
I think getting parts for the BM is possible, though I don't remember the company that had them. But the Firestar series, your shit out of luck. It's a shame they went under, maybe eventually they'll get it going again, I hope anyway. Supposedly just before they went under which was around 96-97 they were working on a polymer framed pistol that was gonna kick some major ass. I wish I could find one of their Firestar .45s those are very very nice. Their 1911 clones were well made as well, if you come across one.
