i have this llama max-I .45 L/F i have had it for about 2 years got it at a gun show for bout $200 it looks decent and shoots not so decent. im just wondering how high of a bill am i looking at if i were to get trigger work, barrel bushing, full length recoil guide, and better adj. iron sights? im goin into my sophmore year in college so money is kindof tight untill christmas time when im out. just want to know if it is really worth the time and money or should i go out and look for a better pistol preferr 1911 style. |

I have to vote right along with all the other advice you have gotten above. DO NOT put more money into a Llama. If it works as is (and I mean just functions reliably), then count yourself lucky. No self-respecting 'smith is going to take your money in a vain attempt to "accurize" this gun. If the accuracy is MOA (minoute of a-hole climbing through the window), then sell it to someone who might have need for a close range defensive weapon. Or (depending on your finances), just keep the thing til you get out of school. Heck, you already know enough to discuss such topics here, so you might have that degree before you know it. With first paycheck once sheepskin is in hand.. go get Kimber. |

Gunsmithing a Llama is best done only under the following conditions: a) You need a piece to practice your "garage gunsmithing" skills. b) You like lost causes and a challenge. c) Money is no object and you don't care about resale value. d) The idea of fabricating parts from scratch does not deter you. e) You are on a desert island and this is the only gun you have. It's technically possible to get a Llama looking good and shooting better, but it's almost always a bad idea. You will never get your money back out of it. |
