The Star DK is about the neatest thing you could buy in the Micro pistol category, in fact it is the forerunner of many of today’s pocket pistols. The DK was released in the fifties and imported by Interarms until the 68 GCA stopped its importation. After that Firearms Int. Imported all parts as a kit except the frame and made steel framed DK’s, they later sold to Iver Johnson and released as the Pony.
Today we have the Sig P 238, Colt Mustang and Kimber Micro all basically a spruced up DK ( even the mags are interchangeable between those four).
The biggest problem with a DK is the price can be super high as they have become quite collectible.
Instead of a DK buy the Kimber Micro as it is the closest ergonomically to a DK as you can get. All of the new pistols have aluminum frames ( Colt has a poly framed Mustang th accompany the aluminum ones) and the older FI Model D and IJ “Pony” has a steel frame and takes a unique magazine.
