Field characteristics and real-world applications

The Firestar’s chambering in 40S&W positions it between 9mm and .45 in terms of terminal performance and felt recoil. For defensive use, .40 S&W offers strong energy and a relatively compact cartridge footprint. This makes the INTERARMS Firestar a practical choice for someone who prefers a semi auto design with a heavier defensive round while keeping the pistol’s size manageable for carry or bedside use.

Magazine disconnect — safety and trade-offs

The listed magazine disconnect is an important detail here. That safety feature prevents the pistol from firing with the magazine removed, which some users value for accidental discharge prevention during administrative handling. Others prefer pistols without this feature for tactical reloads or manual safety preferences. Know how the magazine disconnect affects your training and carry procedures before purchase.

As a used piece with condition rated from good to very good and sold at $350.99, this INTERARMS Firestar represents a cost-conscious entry into a classic semi auto platform. The listing clarifies it “includes everything seen in pictures,” so prospective buyers should review imagery carefully for holsters, spare magazines, or wear indicators.
