These pistols got a lot of hate from Fudd Busters and Othias last week during their weekly podcast, and I can agree, and disagree. The pistols are heavy, but I think the trigger is actually pretty decent. So I thought i would show my personal pair of Stars, and my experience with them.

Always loved mine. Just felt so right in my hand. Loved the weight. And personally was deadly accurate and confident in it.

I have an M-40 , and yes, they are heavier than polymer pistols, but the weight mitigates the recoil. Mine is smooth, accurate and reliable. I suits my needs just fine.

I have the M40, which is chambered in .40 S&W, and use it as my carry piece ... It is heavy for sure, but a pleasure to shoot ...

Love Star pistols!! Have the Megastar, 30M and Firestar. Great firearms, inverted slide rails, 1911 manual of arms, beefy construction, easy to clean and maintain.

I also find the Firestar's trigger to be nice. The take-up to the wall is a little creepy. But the break is crisp, and the sight picture remains undisturbed through the break. It definitely feels meatier and sturdier in the hands than polymer sub-compacts.

The firestars were way ahead of their time. Texture on the front strap and the back strap. A high cut trigger guard. On top of all that if you run out of ammo you can pistol whip some one with it.

I personally Love the Firestar! It’s a gun that I’ve always been able to shoot well. I’ve shot the .40 & .45 many times and I love ‘em. I’m only 5’5” and barely 100lbs but it’s still a really comfortable gun. I don’t really like the polymer guns. (Unfortunately my state has limited our capacity to ten rounds so the single stack doesn’t really matter now. 🤷🏻‍♀️😔)

I had M.43 for about 10 years. this was great gun. small, surprisly accurate, easy to conceal, 100% reliable. I shot several thousands thru it. selling it was great mistake. this is the most modern all steel SA pisol, great oposition to polymer modern crap.

You're missing the point. Firestar's were the first small full 9mmx19 locked breach pistols that were affordable. The other was the Detonic's pocket nine. It was as I remember a direct blowback. Kicked like a mule.
@AthensArmory303

Nah! The Detonics Pocket 9was produced BEFORE the Star Firestar. The Detonics Pocket 9 was produced around 1984. The Firestar was produced in the early 90's.

I have a Firestar Plus and really like the size. It's fits right in-between my CZ Rami and CZ P01 and it's lighter than the Rami. Did you disconnect the magazine safety or did yours come that way on the Plus?

@@dlittle9556 it's all on the internet. Just type in shooting Glock in slow motion. You will see the frame bending. Might be the cause of jamming. Not a fan of plastic. Not to mention Glock charges too much for their guns, other companies are making Glock clones for half the price and making money. Palmetto State armory, Taurus G2,3, and others.

I was more comparing the weight to modern carry pistols. I find it just right, bot it is heavier than most modern pistols in my opinion. I like the ballance and ergo of them over most modern pistols.

Just a question: in the Netherlands, a politician was killed using the Star Firestar m-43. He was shot close range (1,5 to max 2 meters) trough the head. How likely is it, that the skull remaind perfectly intact? I mean, wouldn't his head be cracked like a coconut? I hope anyone can answer.
@AthensArmory303
@AthensArmory303 Год назад
Im not sure I have the answer. A 9mm isnt the most powerful caliber for handguns. I know people have survived head shots from pistols. Here are a couple videos to look into for the answer. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-1dqUi01JVXY.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-txOqq5D-oIk.html Thanks for watching

​@AthensArmory303 You are correct. Also note that the Firestar Plus double stack is an aluminum frame vs steel frame on the regular Firestar single stack. Both are 9mm.
