Good story on the PD above.
I really don't know why some company doesn't retro the PD. In the age of CNC, it can't be that hard, and its obvious that doing it on a 1911 makes you have to jump through a few hoops. A copy of the PD would work OTB. Sure, add a titanium ramp to the frame and you're done.
When everyone was buying the Firestar in .45ACP and .40S&W, I found one in 9mm much to the derision of the Gun store Commando clerk. I loved it in 9mm but was not to fond of it in the previous mention ones. I still have it 7 mags and leather for it. One of the ones I’ll keep..
A 9mm version sounds like a no-brainer.

I liked mine, but the grip tang would bite me on recoil. I have the same problem with the HI-Power as I tend to grip the pistol as high as I can. Sold my Star PD and regret it, but the Colt Officer Model was a better replacement for it even if it was heavier.
I carried a Star PD that I had fitted with better sights for years after commanders. Got the bug for a commander again and traded it in. Should have kept it, never missed a lick.
I buddy I was stationed with in the 80's had one. We shot the crap out of it. It was pretty accurate for such a small .45acp pistol. I always liked them.
