I used to recruit for the NRA until they sold us down the river (again!) in Heller v. DC. See my auctions (if any) under username henryreilly

I did a little research and found there will never be any new parts produced, which is a little concerning.
How reliable and durable are these?

Everything made by man will fail at some point, yea parts could found/made - but not likely worth the price.
I might consider it if it was a private sale but I'd be way happier if it had at least 1 extra magazine; 5 total would be even better.
Yep, I read the wiki article as part of my researching.
It is a private sale, no tax.

They are durable guns and will increase in value.
Because of this, I don't see that Star being that great a deal. (Ex foreign Leo/paramilitary pistol with a unknown round count. Made by a manufacturer that has been out of business for 20 years, or more?) The only positive is, that it would be a private sale, IMHO.
It's a buyers market for guns nowadays. Check out the CDNN site. My e-mail is overloaded with their adds,(sometimes as many as 2 a day). Along with the other, on-line gun dealers.

Agree. For a little more (around $300-350) I think you can find better options with parts availability and better resale too when you come to sell it.
I looked at a couple in the LGS last month. Good + condition and eminently serviceable with non-+P ammo. I've carried one and would do so again(very likely will carry one in a lefty holster when I have my right shoulder surgery)
The small parts are easy to make (for a machinist or hobby gunsmith).
Star pistols aren't bad, the Nazi's used the Star B and it held up fine.
