Stopped in at my favorite little gun shop yesterday and found this little bugger in the case just screaming at me to take it home. It's a Star Model F.
It's darned near new condition with two original magazines and a generic plastic case all for $235.
It functioned perfectly in my woodchuck "test hole" in my back yard. Sounds like some one whacking on a tree branch.
Can't wait to get out and really shoot it.
They also had a Model 94 Winchester in the rack for $299.00. Post '64, pre rebounding hammer. Decent shape but didn't get me excited. I have enough .30-30's. For now.

I HAVE ONE OF THE STAR F 22 PISTOLS. A DEEELIGHTFUL LITTLE PISTOL THROUGH WHICH 7000+ ROUNDS OF 22LR WENT UPON THEIR APPOINTED ROUND WITH DESTINY. MINE NOW HAS MMC FULLY ADJUSTABLE SIGHTS AND GORGEOUS AMERICAN BLACK WALNUT STOCKS MADE BY HANDSOME OL' Y.E.S.T.
That would have gone home with me too! Star has made some generally under appreciated arms over the years, or so it would seem from their trading prices, and I'm rarely without one of some sort or the other.
Very nice I love those small 22s especially when they function well. Hope it seves you for many years. In my BOB I have a Walter PPK/s in 22lr and a container of 100 rounds. Goes everywhere the daypack goes.

Go to show you that great weapon can still be got at a price that does not kill the bank. All kinds of weapons find there way home with me when I stop at my weapons shop. Drives the wife crazy but what deals is what I tell her. Woman like shoes and never have enough, so its weapons and old clocks for me. thanks for pictures.
If a man can build it, and grow it. He will want for nothing.
rjohns,
I do that with a Astra Constable .22.
Have an extra slide for it. Going to put adjustable sights on the extra slide one day.
Figure at least it will get me out of Dodge one day.
You are wise my friend. Old friend taught me that. I worked for him in a gun shop. He could have any gun he wanted and chose a Walther PP to carry in his backpack. He carried a bobbed model 60 as his carry gun and his hunting rifle was a model 71, his battle rifle an M1A. Wise man!

Star pistols don't fetch high prices here in Oz either, which led me to believe they might have been cheap Chinese junk.
I did a bit of Googling and discovered they are in fact a Spanish knockoff of the 1911 and High Power pistols and are reputed to be very good quality.
The only drawback I found was that the manufacturers closed their doors in the mid 90s and the spare parts inventory is drying up rapidly.
If I'd known years ago what they were, instead of making an assumption based on price, I would have bought one.

gundownunder,
Don't feel too bad, a lot of guys here ( who should have known better ) also made the same mistake.
P.S. I have two Star Model B's one is for sale.
