Hello,
My friend acquired a Star Automatic Pistol Cal 45. It is marked "P" on the butt with serial 330703.
I am a police armorer for Glock and Colt AR and my friend/coworker asked me to look at it since I am familiar with 1911s and he assumed this was related due to the similarities in appearances.
The safety will not engage on the pistol when the hammer is back. It was rumored to have "happy hammer" by the person he acquired it from, which we took to mean the hammer will fall without a trigger press.
Any idea what we are dealing with, in terms of issues with the hammer?
Thanks a bunch! Pics attached..
