Llama .45 anyone familiar?

[Mojonasty1]

hello gentlemen , I had a chance to buy a Llama .45 that looked like a 1911 . guy wanted $400. It looked well maintained and shot about a dozen rounds flawlessly (not saying much i guess) but had markings saying gab..... CIA vitorio (I think Spain) It had a checkered grip and side of receiver said something and new hampshire. Idiot was trying to tell me it was worth alot but I don t trust his opinion.(I don t think hes owned many guns). Anyway some useful info would be appreciated thanks fellas.

Not a great deal.

I'd probably pass on that one. Llama's are ok guns to plink around with but that seems a bit high to me.

I just fixed one of these for a friend...I wouldn't pay $250 for one.

I've had two, both were pretty decent guns, but $400 is a bit high. There have been some Llamas on here for about $300-350, those were the Llama-max 10 rd double stacks....offer him $200 and go from there, good luck

There may be a story or two of a content owner, but I know more than enough to stray away. Especially for $400. If I was looking for a cheap 1911, I'd be way more likely to spend that on a rock island, or similar. Llamas are good for one thing - wool

I have had a few Llamas , never had a problem with them good plinkers .'
Wouldn't be affraid to throw one in the truck for the truck gun .

That being said , I have NEVER EVER nor will I ever give over $150-200 for one

contact Nighthawk80 about what his opinion,

Poor kid thought he couldn't shoot and I let him borrow a 45 that was not a llama and he figured out it was the gun and not him.

His will shoot 2 magazines in a 2 inch group then 10 in a 12 inch group then may come back into it. Tolerance stackup.

If I was wanting a throwaway gun $200 might be the top of the limit.

And as you've noted most people who talk alot have nothing to say

I have a llama mini-max .40 s&w, I love it. The main problem you will find with the .40 is no magazines the .45 will use colt mags. However $400 is way overpriced.

No

Bad gun, terrible price.

I had a Llama 9MM 1911 way back when. It was the worst gun I ever owned, I will never own another. I sold it to a pawn shop as I did not want to burden anyone I knew with the weapon.

The plunger spring housing was made of plastic and promptly broke and fell off, and the gun had more sharp edges than a throwing star. It would also jam constantly.

This was 20 years ago and I still have strong feelings about Llamas... that tell you anything?

 

[eblevins]

Good gun but to high on price $250.00 would be a OK deal for both.

 

[SCREWLOOSETC]

I played with one for awhile. Only Lama parts will fit the thing. I paid $250 and sold it for same. It was like new. It ate everything I fed it. Would not have another, My Randalls have spoiled me.
