Hi,
I have an old Star B (made in 1943!), whose firing pin protrudes in the chamber when the hammer is down. I wouldn't carry such a piece hammer down on a cartridge! But the safety is very safe as it acts directly on the hammer and can be engaged in half and full cock.
By the way, I feel there are much better choices over there for carry than a Star. With its soft steel, mine is just a nice collector - it belongs to a batch that was sent to Bulgaria during WWII for use against Russia.
