I never had trouble with jamming for a gun your just going to put in your car i say its an excellent choice one if something happens you dont loose a 500 to 700 $$$ gun its way better than any other guns in its price range excluding surplus maybe. It comfortable to shoot just one thing make sure you get a good grip when you shoot it or the safety wont disengage

OH MY GOD, THE BRASS!
I forgot! The damned brass! My Mini-Max 45 would put almost every other case right between my eyes! I finally got the ejector shaped right to put them out right of me, but it was God awful shooting it at first. That is my only negative on the Mini-Max. Oh, and Glazer, please don't take this as an attack, but the comparison of Llama to Lorcin is unfair and insulting. They make decent guns at a decent price, not zinc framed POS robbery pistols. How many Llamas have you owned? |

Duly noted, watch out for brass... do you think this was an isolated incident related to your pistol or a common occurence?

My Max I puts all ejected shells in a nice little pile at about 4:00
I gotta tell ya, even though I only paid $80 for it, I'm so damned happy with the gun that I can't begin to explain. |

Had an "older" model a few years ago, never jambed, accuracy was decent, very pleased.
 The only problem I had was hammer bite, butthe one you pictured has an extended breaver tail, does it not? For that kind of money, Id say go for it. Sorry to hear about the crappy gun laws up there, with the pemits and all. Good luck and post your results, I may get another one. PS I put mine in on a trade for a Colt and it jambed at least once every other mag, sometimes more!!!  It was a 1991-A1. Not bashing Colt, just proveing a point that ANY factory can/will make a lemon.

I had one about 20 years ago and just like the others have said it was a big POS! Hated them eversince. I hope it works for you.

Didnt the early one have a pivoting trigger or maybe that was the Stars. I'll have to look at my PD.

Would that include your opinion? Like I said, I want to hear the good, bad and ugly on people's experiences with this particular pistol. Not a model made 20 years ago... Guess what, there are car manufacturers whose vehicles I wouldn't touch 20 years ago, that has no bearing whatsoever on the quality of one they make today. |

I didn't compare it to a Lorcin. I said, "It would be like somebody saying they can get a great deal on a Lorcin." If you had read what I wrote you would not have had to ask the question. I haven't owned any Llamas. As I said, "I looked at some at a gunshow once and they did not impress me enough to warrant my money. If you want to send me some I will purchase one and check it out for you." Between my wife and I we have two Kimber Stainless .45s and a Taurus Titanium .38. We have owned in the past one SS S&W M686 Classic Hunter .357 and a Browning .40 Hi-power. I also turned down an offer once of a Davis? or Raven? SS .25 for free. My money my choice. My choice of a $200 or so gun for the truck would be a used revolver. |

I don't like revolvers... any of comparable size will still be limited to six rounds versus 6 +1, likely would be a .38 versus .45, and would have a grip that I do not like compared to autos which seem to work for me.

I had a Llama .380 and it was pretty decent with FMJ when it was new. About 2000 rounds it started having feeding issues and I noticed that it was a lot sloppier than it used to be. Llama being made in Spain seems to share a common problem with Star, poor metallurgy.
If you load it with FMJ and don't plan on shooting it a lot you should be OK. If it were me I'd pony up a few more bucks and get a RIA 1911. Not that I care for cast frames and slides that much but at least you can put quality innards in it. |
