95 AWB killed the Megastar and therefore according to the article you linked tge company entire. Which is a damn shame as by all accounts the Star pistols wete of very high quality.

Its funny how trends come around. If Star had managed to stay in business till now I suspect they'd be doing a brisk trade if they consolidated the features of their 90s guns i.e. a single action, double stack, steel frame pistol of the same quality of construction. A revamped Firestar with an...

Yes, the Star pistols of tge 90s and S&W's 3rd gen pistols seem very much in the same vein and about equally overlooked and forgotten.

They are out there on the second hand market for not too much money. Personally I'd most likely a Mrgastar in 10mm but they didn't get around to producing a whole bunch due to its introduction in '92 and the Subsequent AWB in '95. Still a hefty, all steel double stack 10mm is quite appealing.

Well for all I knew there WAS a 38 Largo Cartridge. Paul Harrell talked about such during his "fake expert" topic. Recalled a time when someone brought up 10mm back in the day and not having heard of it before was all "No there is no such thing as 10mm, you mean 9mm" . So I try not to do this...

.38 Largo? I have not heard of that cartridge, is it distinct from 9mm Largo?

Anyone into these? I am fascinated by them, they look really cool to my eyes. Model 28/30/31, Firestar, Megastar. A 31 in 9mm, Firestar in .40 and Megastar in 10mm would be my desired collection lineup. It would seem the Model 30 and Firestar are reasonable in price while the Megastsr less so...

You should give the Osight a shot and report your findings here

The game seems to have changed. Red dots a rapidly becoming are commodity.

I've heard a lot of good things actually. I think I'll stick with Holosun on my primary CCW but a lot of people are saying the OSight is legit. Its cheap enough to try for yourself certainly, if it wraps out you won't be out a critical amount of money. Red Dots have gotten so cheap now that a...

I would so love to turn my Colt Competition lose on our old E-Matches! The thing is so freaking accurate. Or my tricked out 10/22 for that matter.

My point is corporate profits are at an all time high while everyone is complaining about the quality of theor workers. If you want to attract top class talent you need to offer top class pay to get it. At my company they have large numbers of inexperienced drivers and low skilled scrubs...

That being said how do we feel about advocacy for higher pay? Not as a government mandate but as a willing investment in tge human capital thank makes business run. It occurs to me that some of our most vital labores are woefully underpaid for the service they provide. EMTs for example; these...

Its by design. Useful idiots wielded as bayonets fixed to the muskets of progressivism.
