I recently inherited a Llama .22lr 'Especiale' which looks like a small 1911 Col
t. It has a mfg code of B1 which (I think) is 1956. It was used when my dad boug
ht it in the 60's, but is in great condition.
Only came with one magazine and a leather holster. After cleaning it, I took it
to the range and put about 50 rounds through it. It wasn't very accurate at long
distances but did a 4" group at around 10 yards.
I used CCI copper jacket minimags (40 grain) and the pistol ran like a small sew
ing machine. After switching to some CCI lead jacket 22lr 40Gr standard velocity
rounds, I noticed the weapon would occasionally fail to fully eject causing a s
toppage. It was fun to shoot though.
Looking up Llama, apparently the company filed bankrupt in the late 80's or earl
y 90's, but was bought by another company?
It's a great little plinker. Looks like they also made this model in different c
alibers. It's a nice compact 45 look alike.
