From Steven Camp's website and review of the Star BM.
Note: The Star BM's bbl comes with but one locking lug. Steel on Star pistols is traditionally "soft" compared to other handguns and one can see the heat-treated areas on the slides in many cases. Recoil springs are not so easily changed/replaced on these pistols and for these reasons I do NOT recommend much use of +P ammunition. None was used in today's test for that reason and the fact that spare parts are tough to find.
I do not think that Mr. Camp would recommend conversion of this pistol to 356 TSW nor the use of hot loads.
