BarryinIN, Thought I'd ask you....Do you or can you reccommend a retail sporting goods store or a place or private seller where I can get a honest price on another COLT 45 ACP 1911. I have a 70's series and I want to get another 70's series so I have "twins"(twins) OR another type Colt 45 auto...maybe 80's series or even the 1991 production! I got the first Colt 45 acp WAY befor the internet explosion....like 1975. Anyway just thought I'd throw it out there! Thanks

BarryinIN, Thanks for your input! You are probably right!But that day at the range...it was busy and a guy and his son was sighting in a combat tact 223 to my left and it was loud! Plus I had ear plugs in. Then the guy to my right with his daughter firing Glock 9's. Usually I can hear the squib but even that time "no primer smoke at all" but its the lack of or very weak recoil you notice most with 45 acp. There is another picture of one in this same forum 2 or 3 topics down named "blown 45 auto barrel" and I swear it looks just like a Llama 45 barrel...but that one is in pieces. I left a comment asking "who made the weapon" Anyway thanks again!

I have to thank Wayne for getting this photo on for me! I know the first thing everybody that see's this photo will say,"SQUIB"....nothing else! Maybe/Maybe not. When it jammed the slide jammed with it. For 18 hours I wondered whether the round cleared he barrel.Next day...I seen the round still in the barrel but had to cut the slide in order to get the barrel out and even then it was hard to get out after cutting. The round had went off and cleared the barrel.....But I couldn't get the brass out because the barrel exploded and split. I still wonder whether it was a "SQUIB" or bad ammo! I really don't think I'd ever own or buy any Llama weapons again soon anytime!.....EVER! In closing I'd like to say I took this Llama apart and I have many really good parts. If anybody is interestd email me! [email protected]

I just joined this forum for the purpose of reading about the Marlin 795 22lr and I stumbled accross this comment and picture of the Llama 45 auto. Recently....as recent as Fathers day 2011,I went to the range with my daughter that was home from Ohio State University. I happen to own(or did own a Llama 45)and had it with us along with other weapons. Briefly...my backround with weapons is approximately 35 years....counting military time and 15 months in VietNam with USMC.I have shot or operated maybe 15-20 different weapons and sharpshooter with my favorite the Colt 1911, and never had anything EXTROIDINARY happen as did with that Llama 45 auto on tha Fathers day. To this day I continue to wonder why I am still here...or why I still have a face. After reading many posts and comments on this forum I can take great value in all offered opinions and ideas.I will supply photos which are self explanitory however Please feel free to use my email address. I will welcome anybody who would like to comment or know more about what I experienced AND WILL SUPPLY A PHOTO FYI: This Llama 45 was an inherited weapon. I have shot this weapon 30 times over the past 15 years and cycling probably 800 rounds through it. I also own a COLT 45 auto and never had anything go wrong with it since I got it in 1975. Also the gentleman that made the statement Quote:not to pay more then $250.00 dollars for this pistol just may retract that opinion after seeing the photos!Personally......I wouldn't pay $2.50 for this weapon! WHAT YOU WOULD HAVE SEEN WOULD BE THE LLAMA 45 AUTO BARREL "SPLIT OPEN" BY A 45 AUTO ROUND
