For those - like me who don't know what in the hell this thing is...
"STAR created a very interesting 10mm handgun that created a behemoth of a handgun...the size is on par with a Desert Eagle (well almost, but it is a very large handgun). Even the name is big...it's called the MEGAStar (pic). The major innovation of this handgun was that it has an inverted slide rail system like the CZ75/85 design. It was offered in a blued or a nickle based finish called Starvel. The MEGAStar in 10mm and .45ACP both used the same magazine interchangeably, which had a capacity of 14 rounds. The only thing about this handgun that most shooters didn't like (other than the girth and weight) was the safety. The safety is mounted on the slide and is pushed up to the rear (so that it sticks up and out from the back of the slide) and is very awkward to manipulate. The MEGAStar also has a magazine safety. I'm not sure if STAR ever made a production competition model available with an extended barrel, compensator, and single action trigger assembly, but I have a couple of pictures of it."

I found an interesting web page about it: http://www.star-firearms.com/firearms/guns/megastar/index.shtml It doesn't look too bad actually.
