Well,,,
"Never ever carry the Star with a round in the chamber the firing pin is
not of the inertia type. In other words the firing pin actually rests right on top of the primer if the hammer is down and if you drop the gun it will go off if it hits on the hammer when it falls."

Now to be honest, I own several Stars and carry them cocked, locked & loaded. Very reliable, combat accurate, handguns from an era when drop proofing wasn't considered mandatory.
Star parts may still be available - no date on link.

Thank you for your concern, and for the link, I read it, all.
Never believe anything you read, unless you verify it for yourself!
In this case, someone we dont know, from 13 yeas ago spewed some misinformation.
I have owned 3 Star super As for many years, they are circa 1975.
One thing I always check in a new to me gun is for inertia firing pin or not!
I have already known how these Stars worked, but just for peace/piece of mind,
I just stripped down my favorite 1, and verified that,
When the hammer is down and pressing the firing pin into the frame as far as it physically can,
The tip of the firing pin is 3 thousands of an inch Below the Breech Face!!
It is NOT Resting against the primer!
I mostly carry in condition 2 as getting ready to fire is still just one hand
and as fast to cock a hammer as it is to flick off a safety.
And nobody ever asks me "did you know your hammer is back?"
