I’ve had my Llama 1911 .45 for a couple of years now, and I can say it’s been quite reliable for me. I typically shoot at 25 yards and find it holds precision well.

I’m also interested in the ammo part! I read that certain brands can lead to jams. What have you guys experienced?

I’ve shot various brands and honestly haven’t had issues with any so far. Just stay away from cheap stuff.

I’ve shot mine up to 50 yards with decent results. Just remember, the farther you go, the more focus you need. Precision can definitely drop if you’re not careful.

That sounds challenging! I’ve only tried the standard 25 yards. How does it feel at 50 yards in terms of recoil?

9

The recoil is manageable, but it does take some getting used to, especially when aiming for such distances. Practice makes perfect!

I’ve been considering a Llama .45 for a while, but I’ve also heard mixed reviews. What do you all think—is it worth it?

11

Absolutely worth it for the price! I’ve had good experiences. It may not be a high-end model, but it performs well for casual shooting.

Might be a bit contentious, but I feel like it’s overrated. I’ve seen better options for similar prices. Just my two cents.

Interesting perspective, wdickerson! What alternatives would you suggest for someone just starting out?

For beginners, I suggest looking at something like the Springfield XD. Lighter recoil and easier to handle, in my opinion.

That’s helpful, thanks! Although, I still have my eye on the Llama for its classic design.

Hey haileyhenry, can you clarify what aspect of the design you like? I think it looks nice too, but curious about your reasons!

I love the classic feel and aesthetics! There’s just something about a .45 that feels so right when you hold it.

I totally get that! There’s a charm to it that modern guns often lack. Makes shooting feel more special.

I agree! The craftsmanship on the Llama really stands out for the price. I love how intuitive it is to shoot. It just feels natural in the hand.
