If the build quality is decent they should function fine. 1911 style usually are pretty simple and don't have too many issues if they are loose enough. It is all the people that tighten everything up and it requires 1000 rounds to break in that causes issues. Built to military specs they aren't super accurate but function well. For something I was carrying around I would spend more.
The reasons you list are reasons I avoid the cheap new pistols. Inexpensive used ones though...
Just saw a Hungarian Hi-Power that was a good price though. Might have to snatch that instead of the Star. I never hear much bad about a Hi-Power.
