LLAMA Value?


Sams Dad

Recommended Posts

Posted

I have a 1911, LLAMA 9mm parabellum full frame with 4-1/2 barrel. I bought it used from a police officer abut 20 years ago. The markings have G2 which I think is a 1987 model. It shoots great and its what I took my HCP class with and scored 98% on the range. It eats about anything i put in it.

It is in great shape. I have had the hankering for something new like the Kimber Ultra or maybe even a Bersa/Firestorm ultra compact.

I was curious if anyone could give me a realistic value on it?

Or, can anyone give me a good lead on some rubber grips to fit it. Standard 1911 grips are off on the hole spacing. it has the wood grips with the Llama logon imbedded.

Thanks,

Hi Sam's dad.

I couldn't give you a price on it, but I can tell you that the grips are always going to be off on the hole spacing..and the screws are not normal screws either..they're made to spanish specifications..i.e bassackward.

good luck on finding grips for it!

They usually sell on Gunbroker.com for $250. to $375. depending on the condition of the handgun,of course.

A 100% pristine one in un-fired condition might fetch you $400. or more...just not much demand for the Llama line anymore... they went out of business a few years ago. FWIW

Several years ago, I think I paid $250 for .45 Llama 1911 style. I was able to get my money out of it, but it took a while.

A lot of the budget 1911 crowd look for something that has ability to swap in aftermarket 1911 parts. The llama has a few departures that make 1911 parts hit and miss. I seem to recall that the llama has an external ejector.

Also, there were a couple of recalls on the XIA and XIB models for accidental discharge issues. Finally, on the grip side, firestorm 1911 grips will often fit. I had a 1911 firestorm "firestar" that was made it spain. I was able to swap its grips to the Llama. I did a quick search on llama firestorm and found this link.

Llama / Firestorm

As far as shooters go, both the the firestorm and llama were very nice. IN fact, I hate that I sold them.
