The C-series is a straight blowback vest pocket pistol which falls in size between the H and E series. All model C pistols are in .25 ACP (6.35 mm), so this is essentially a larger model E (or later, Starlite).

All these weapons are steel framed, single action pistols with a fixed barrel. The reciprocating slide is the rear third and sides of the remainder of the top end. The barrel is visible above the forward part of the slide and does not move on firing. The extractor is at the 12 o'clock position.I have very little information on this pistol, and some is clearly incorrect so there may be updates in the future. The model C was produced from 1924 until about 1930 or 31, when it was replaced with the model CO. At least one example appears to have a date code that implies production went on much longer, so this is among the open issues with the series.

The layout of the Model C, up through the CO, is entirely typical of Star, and other, vest pocket pistols. The magazine release is conventiently located on the left side behind the trigger guard instead of on the butt, but the safety is a small lever behind the trigger which hinges far to the rear. The only stocks encountered are hard plastic with an unusual "Star Trade Mark" in a diamond on each panel.
