A friend came by yesterday and gave me a blue Firestar 9mm, with 2 factory magazines. He's had it for 25 yrs, bought it new, and never fired it, or carried it. Been in his dresser drawer all that time. I had one back in 1992. It was "gun of the year" by American Firearms Industry. All steel, SA Semi Auto. I carried it back then, but would not consider this for concealed carry these days. Much too heavy. Sad to see Star was on top of the world with these pistols in the early 90's, and went out of business in 1997. Cleaning it now, hope to shoot it this afternoon. It feels great in the hand. I remember they shot well. Anyone else still have one of these classics?
