Built on a micro-size aluminum alloy frame with a steel slide, the Lancer configuration of the Model HK delivers a compact .22 LR package. The approximate 5.5-inch overall length and 14.5-ounce unloaded weight make it notably light and easy to handle while retaining steel where it counts in the slide.
The finish presents as a two-tone with a blued steel slide featuring polished flats over a black-anodized alloy frame. Rear slide serrations aid manipulation. The sights are fixed, with a ramped front blade and a square-notch rear that is integral to the slide, maintaining a low-profile sight picture suited to the pistol’s compact form.
Operation is single-action via a straight blowback system, with a spur hammer and a single-sided left-frame manual thumb safety. Capacity is 7+1 using a single-stack magazine, offering straightforward function in a slim profile.
Markings include the right-side "STAR LANCER" flanked by arrow motifs and the left-side "STAR B. ECHEVERRIA S.A. EIBAR–ESPAÑA CAL .22" with the Star sunburst logo. "SPAIN" proof/import marks and an HK model prefix format align with production from the 1950s–1970s era in Eibar, Spain.
The included single-stack steel magazine features a witness slot and a heel-type baseplate lip consistent with the model’s period design. Brown checkered plastic grips with STAR medallions complete the factory look.
