Nice work C5!

In my younger years I went many a mile with a Norma or Super Vel hollowpoint in the chamber and hardball in the magazine of my AA rework.

I like it.

Jim is correct, if you get a 1911 mag to work in the llama, it is lucky. I had one out of six different 1911 mags work in my llama and it was a colt mag.

Ironically, all the old Colt mags worked in my Llama, but one of the same ones won't work in my father's Commander.

Are you missing something? Heck yeah you're missing something. Use ball ammo for self-defense. It was good enough for our military for close to 100 years.

Yeah I know but I was worried about overpenetration...after looking at several different sets of statistics (its hard to find info on ball penetration), it seems there's less to worry about from ball than from a lot of HPs!

And +1 on the nice work, C5. I actually got a very practical set of grips from this website I found...I got the gritty black ones and they're great.

I had a Llama a few decades ago. It was alright for what it was, a close approximation of a 1911. To get mags to even fit in the pistol properly, they had to be dremeled between the catch hole and the cutout under the follower. Man, I'm typing with the lights off and had to try "follower" three times. The first two were like I was on drugs!
