Llama porn…lol

I've had 2 Llama small frame .380 pistols over the years, like the one in the original post. They were made back in the 1970s or 80s.

They were reliable and accurate.

But, yes, sometimes the manual safety would get flipped to the off position when I intended to be carrying the gun cocked and locked with the safety engaged!

I have had that happen with numerous other 1911 style pistols as well, which is one of the reasons I stopped carrying any gun of that design, or any other gun that should be carried with the safety "on."

I prefer my guns not to have a manual (active) safety at all, and if there is one I never intend to use it.

1940 Llama 9mm Largo, with some 1950-1952 Spanish-made ammo.

Not mine- but Llama made several engraved pistol versions. Every now and again I see one for sub $500. May buy one next time I do...

I want it! Or one just like it. No joke, if you come across one that you're not trying to buy, let me know.

What is that? 9X21? 9X23? Fine piece.

9x23. Belongs to a customer, who dropped it off for a detailed cleaning and inspection.

Picked one up today at the LGS, no magazine, anyone no where I can get one?

A standard 1911 mag in 9mm should run fine…

Star is another option for (relatively) cheap Spanish engraved, 1911- esque pistols.. as are some of the Astras

The only dealing I had with Llama was a Government model 45 back in the early 80s that sat in the shop for ever. We put all the guns up in a steel cage at night and the daily trip often caused guns to get dinged up. The metal in that Llama was so soft that after a few months of handling it looked like complete chit. The revolvers were called the Commanche. Those were also pot metal POS. I found the Star brand to be very well made. I still have a PD and BM in the safe and carried a Fire Star in 40 cal for a couple of years until I bought a Glock 27. The fire star was heavy as lead but it was one of the first sub compact 40 cals.
Sorry to hate on your reminiscing. Nostalgia for things that seemed great is often an illusion and the good ol days may not have been that good at the time.
