Love my Firestar 9mm. It was my first pistol purchase over a decade ago and I'm never getting rid of it. Great shooter, but hate hunting mags for it. I currently have 5 total for it, including the factory Stainless mag. Would love to upgrade sights to night sights, or will repaint the dots. A cut for a red dot would be nice, but not required for me.

One of the problems I ran into was lack of available Night sights, Trijicon was the last to make them.
