Picked up an old gun magazine at a garage sale, Guns/Ammo, Oct/1984 and noticed a Q/A section to the Gunsmith, Garry James. After defending one's Llama from these "yahoos" who without any knowledge, firsthand, or otherwise who just pickup on misinformed info on the internet calling Llamas: "POS", "You get what you pay for", ad nauseaum well, you heard & read all the put-downs. This was the Gunsmith's answer from a reader asking about a .45 Llama with the Stoeger address.
ANSWER:
"Your Llama is an excellent M-1911 Colt copy. I had one myself for a number of years and was quite pleased with it. In fact, Llama started making these guns, as the Model IX, in 1936. There have been a few minor modifications since then, but the quality remains. Currently Llama offers the Model IXA in 9mm and .45 caliber. Magazines are available from Triple K in San Diego, Ca."
BTW, my IXA shoots as good as my "respected" .45's, no problems....
