It's surprising to see all these favorable posts regarding the Firestar. Iused an M43 in 9mm some years back and it was a total pain. Main issue was jamming if anything other than the cleanest new ammo was used. Reloads? forget about it. Went so far as to send it back to the factory to be checked out but it didn't really help. Finally boxed it up and stashed it in the closet and stuck with my tried and true Ruger P89.
