What is star pd .45?

The Star PD .45 is a compact semi-automatic handgun chambered in .45 ACP. It was designed and manufactured by the Spanish company Star Bonifacio Echeverria, S.A. from the mid-1970s until the 1990s. The PD in the name stands for "Police Department."

The gun features a single-stack magazine with a capacity of 6+1 rounds. It has a 3.9-inch barrel, an overall length of 7.25 inches, and stands 5 inches tall, making it a popular choice for concealed carry. The frame and slide are made of aluminum alloy, which reduces weight but can cause increased felt recoil.

The Star PD .45 was popular with law enforcement and civilian shooters for its reliability and accuracy. However, it was eventually eclipsed by newer designs that offered higher capacity magazines and improved ergonomics.

Today, the Star PD .45 is considered a collectible firearm and can be found on the used market. As with any firearm, it's important to have proper training and follow safety guidelines when handling and using it.
