This Star Firestar Plus pistol is chambered in 9mm Luger and runs a DA/SA trigger with a 3.39-inch barrel and a 13+1 round capacity. It has a black finish over a steel slide and polymer grip panels, with an ambidextrous thumb safety and fixed iron sights. Size and capacity put it in the compact class of 9mm semi-autos.

Owners of the Firestar Plus tend to praise Star's build quality from the era before the company closed, describing the fit of slide to frame as tighter than many contemporaries. The DA/SA trigger draws mixed reactions: some like having a double-action first shot for carry, while others find the transition to the lighter single-action pull less smooth than a striker-fired gun.

For carry and range use, the Firestar Plus sits comfortably in the hand thanks to the polymer grip panels, and the ambidextrous thumb safety is a point owners call out as a nice touch on an older design. The fixed sights are basic but functional, and most report the gun points naturally for a compact 9mm.

The biggest recurring complaint is parts and magazine availability, since Star ceased production years ago and factory-original magazines and springs are harder to source than for currently made pistols. Owners who already have spares tend to hold onto the pistol as a reliable carry option, while newer buyers often budget extra for magazine hunting before relying on it daily.
