Star 9mm ?'s

[MR.T.]

The Star Ultra-Star 9mm M205.
I acquired one of these in a trade. Not sure got a great deal in the trade, but I like the way the little gun feels in my hand, and so far I have put 100 rnds down the bbl and it shoots great. So, for the moment I am happy with my trade, but, I was wondering if anyone here knows any good info about these guns? What do you guys think about this?

Here is some info.

These folks know all, or at least most when it comes to Spanish pistols. CB

I have a couple of Modelo Supers in 9x23 and a couple of BMs in 9mm. Great pistols.

Star made good guns. I've owned two different models and was pleased with both.

I have 4 firestars, 2 in 9mm, 1 in .40 and 1 in .45, I also have a BM, no problems with any of them. A dealer at a gun show pointed out that Stars are to Spain what S&W/Colt are to us.

This one isn't, being a polymer framed pistol, it is lighter, about the same as my M&P. And it is just only slightly larger than my M&P 9c, about 1/4 inch longer at the back and about 1/2 inch longer on the grip.

The Star is single stack magazine and holds 9, and everyone knows the 9c holds 12 and is double stack.

Someday I would like to get a Firestar in .45 ACP, I have wanted one of those for some time, just haven't seen any for sale around here in a while.

Stars were generally good, and used to be cheap and therefore a good value - but at the gun show this weekend, someone wanted $450 for an ultra-star - they make-a me laugh.

I liked the Firestar the best (my buddy had one), but the BM and Ultra-star are supposed to be good, too.
