Hi there, first post (as i joined this board specifically to access this forum).
I bought a Star model B (9mm para) last year. never used it until this weekend.
First impressions - Amazingly accurate and feels great in the hands and natural to shoot, apart from.......
First shot fires correctly.
case doe snot eject, slide does not come back.
Hammer seems to sit a little back in an almost 'half cock' position.
I cannot manually pull the slide back UNTIL the hammer has been moved all the way back and then either the trigger is pulled or it is released and the hammer is resting again. Then the slide can be worked, the empty ejects and it loads the next round. Same happens when that is fired.
I have field stripped and re assembled, it is clean and lubricated correctly and nothing appears out of place or visibly incorrect to my untrained eye. Any thoughts experiences and / or opinions gratefully received..
