Llama 1911 - Parts interchangability

[Rblakely]

Saw a Llama 1911 at my LGS this week for less than $300. If it had ever been fired it didn't look like it to me so I bought it.

The Good:

1. Bluing looks fantastic
2. Grips are in perfect shape
3. Ran 200 rounds through it today with zero issues (230 gr ball)

The Bad:

1. The trigger

The trigger is horrendous. According to my trigger gauge it's coming in at 9+ pounds. I'd like to get a drop-in trigger kit but I'm not sure if the Llama 1911 has standard 1911 parts. It doesn't have "Max-?" on it anywhere just "LLAMA CAL 45"

Will standard 1911 hammer, sear, etc. parts fit this gun?

That's not a Llama, that's an Alpaca knock off.

I think that one is a pretty exact 1911 clone.

The Spaniards liked to tweak things so I'm not 100% sure.

Theres's gotta be a Llama forum out there without farm animals.

I own one and so far its sights and grips that dont interchange. Fire control group was normal 1911.

There is a 1911 forum out there with a full list of partz that dont interchange.

Llama's are tricky, some parts interchangeable, some not so much. I don't buy many from the year yours is so not 100% sure. I like the older ones
Good luck!

I'd take cruzans' advice above. ...seeing how that he owns all the other Llama guns on Earth.

Even the parts that do interchange on them will require lots of hand fitting to get them to work. You might consider finding a decent Smith and seeing what he can do with the trigger. I have a few llamas and they are generally pretty reliable, but parts are becoming unobtanium for them. The trigger on my max 100 is similarly bad, but it's more of a range toy, so I just live with it.
