Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
Starting in 1946, Star began manufacturing the Model A-Super, an enhanced version of its Model A pistol series. Building upon the improvements introduced with the Model 1940, the Model A-Super featured several upgrades. Most notably, the swinging link mechanism was replaced with a closed cam path integrated into the barrel, inspired by the Sig 210 design. This change, along with adding a full-length guide rod with a captive spring and a convenient quick takedown lever, aimed to improve durability and ease of maintenance. These models incorporated a magazine safety mechanism, albeit different from earlier S variants, and an extractor that served as a loaded-chamber indicator. Furthermore, the sights were redesigned for better visibility, and minor adjustments were made to the trigger system. Widely exported for extensive use by foreign militaries, production of Model Bs with Super upgrades continued until the conclusion of classic-model production in 1983. Despite their advancements, most Super pistols across all series were not explicitly labeled with an overall series letter, contributing to confusion among collectors. This has led to instances where firearms, actually Model As, are mistakenly sold as Modelo Supers or even as Model Bs on the surplus market.
Return Policy:
We gladly offer a 3 day unfired inspection policy from the time that the firearm is delivered to your FFL. Refunds are available for all qualifying orders.
