Maybe you need an cheap 9mm…

the running when the U.S. was searching for a new 9mm. The main thing that stopped them was that they required whichever new 9mm would be made in the U. S.plus they were heavier than the Beretta,
One of our distributors had a field day at one of the big indoor and outdoor coliseums to show off all the coming new guns and ammo. It was held about 75 miles from where our shop was in Sarasota so Kase, Colleen and I were invited and got to shoot all the new guns.
The Star model 30 wasn't there for us to play with but the lightweight model 28 was and it was a fine pistol. The model 28 was the same except an alloy frame.The only downside was the weight. Everybody I saw there was happy with the new Star pistol. If it was chosen it would have taken the place of the Beretta model 92.
