There are 2 older star B threads here somewhere.
My dad and I got ours from Robertson Trading post via gunsamerica.
I spent as much as I could on a cleaner looking unit. My dad's safety needed some reworking and my barrel bushing blew out after about 300 rounds. I had mine welded and fixed by a fellow MDS member (I still owe you some 22LR!).
Both would have FTF or FTE issues with the stock mags but an after market mag ($40) fixed the issue. I think the lips or something on the mags are the issue and there are some articles on that. MANY people complain about FTE or FTF on the Star B. I just load up 5 rounds at the range at a time and don't have too many issues, even with the stock mag, its when I go 8 or 8+1 that the stock mag gives me issues.
If you want a 9mm C&R, 2 other choices are the Beretta 51 and the Walther P1.
Of the 3, the Beretta has the better trigger and a more consistant shooer, the Star B follows that and the Walther is a very close third. All are great shooters but my SOG Walther is solid performer and NEVER has been an issue. I have probably 600 rounds through the Walther, but only about 200 in the Beretta.
