The Starlite is a new 6-shot .25 ACP (6.35 mm) pocket or holdout pistol. Its lineage is easily traced to the dozens of Spanish "vest pocket" pistols produced in the early part of the century, and specifically the Browning 1903 copies made by Star. The gun is vastly smaller than even those though, and can easily perch on the palm of one's hand. The Starlite is a single action gun with the safety immediately behind the trigger, where is can be swept with the thumb when the hand is in the firing position. There is a butt-placed magazine release.
