I have one in my stable also, make sure you pick up some spare buffers.

Very well built.

Love those STAR handguns. I owned two: Firestar M43-9. and Firestar 30MI-9. Sold both to a Spanish firearms collector who made me an offer I could not refuse.

My signature on several gun forums:

"In a perfect world, STAR would still be making forged steel handguns and Taurus would be out of business".

WOW !!! Those Stars make mine look like @#$#. Hey I know wwere one is for $300.00 but it did not have adj. rear sights. It is an interarms import . whats up with the rear sights on this model . are they all aluminum frame Star PD?

They should have adj rear sites with the later variations having the M31 adj rear sites.

However it looks like the prototypes marked PM of which only 1 was made in steel frame serial 1245074 and 2nd prototypes made in alloy frames marked PKM did not have adj sites.

So if it is marked PKM it would be a handful of prototypes made prior to the PD production run and depending on condition a collectors bargain at $300.

WOW! That .480 Ruger is INNNNsane. I guess it would beat out about anything in the weight to power ratio.
