INTERARMS Star Ultra

Product Information & Specs

Seller Description For This Firearm

The Interarms Star Ultra / Ultra star is a Spanish-made compact semi-automatic pistol that was imported into the U.S. by Interarms (Virginia importer, not manufacturer).
🔧 What it actually is
You’re most likely referring to the Star “Ultra star” (also called Ultra Star):
Made by Star Bonifacio Echeverria, S.A. (Spain)
Imported by Interarms (U.S. distributor, 1970s–1990s era imports)
Chambered most commonly in:
9mm
.40 S&W
Compact, polymer-framed design (early “modern” style compact pistol)
DA/SA (double-action / single-action) with an external hammer
Single-stack magazine (usually 9–10 rounds depending on caliber)
⚙️ Design notes
Similar “feel” and layout to a Browning Hi-Power / CZ-style compact hybrid
Has a manual safety/decocker
Known for being:
Simple
Durable for its time
Not very common today
📦 Interarms connection
Interarms didn’t make guns — they imported them
They brought in many Spanish Star pistols into the U.S.
“Interarms marked” guns usually = import stamp, not manufacturer
The Interarms Star Ultra Star (Star Ultra) is built with a fairly typical mix of steel and early polymer, depending on the part of the gun.

🔩 Frame
Made from polymer (high-strength reinforced polymer)
This was fairly advanced for its time (1980s–1990s)
Gives it a lighter weight compared to all-steel pistols
⚙️ Slide & Barrel
Carbon steel
Heat-treated steel slide with blued or matte finish
Steel barrel fitted inside the slide (standard rifled barrel)
🔧 Internal parts
Mostly steel components
Trigger group
Hammer
Sear
Safety/decocker parts
Springs are standard steel coil springs
🧠 Overall build style
Hybrid design: polymer frame + steel upper assembly
Similar concept to early “modern compact pistols” like the Glock era, but still using a traditional hammer-fired DA/SA system
đź’ˇ Bottom line
It’s not a cheap zinc alloy or pot metal gun—those Star pistols are:
Steel where it matters (pressure-bearing parts)
Polymer for weight reduction (frame)

WE SUPPORT LOCAL GUN STORES

Many online gun sales actually take away from your local community.  Instead of buying a gun that’s on your local store’s shelf, most retailers drop ship it from a warehouse in another state.  At Guns.com, if an FFL is part of our network, we sell THEIR guns first whenever possible.  That way, we’re helping small businesses in your community AND if they have it in stock, you can pick your gun up IMMEDIATELY – it’s how business should be done.


WE KEEP IT SIMPLE
WE KEEP IT SIMPLE

Most everything can be easily bought online these days.  But for some reason, buying a gun online can be complicated.  Most websites are poorly organized, don’t tell you a lot about what you’re buying, and leave you on your own to figure out what you want.  Guns.com is built to be simple – easily organized products, useful descriptions from experts, and support to guide you to the right choice.  Spend your time enjoying the gun you want, not getting frustrated with a complex website that makes gun buying hard.
