I've had (for 19 tears now) a post'68 llama 380 auto, and it is even more of a dead-ringer mini 1911 than the Colt.Koolau2 says he had a problem with silvertips. I had also, but problem was in failing to cycle completely back; the 85gr. slug wasn't quite heavy enough for thr RECOIL-OPERATED system. Tried pulling the bullets(inertially) and reloading with 4.5 gr unique and it made all the differeence in the world! I even tried loads as high as 4,9gr. with great results. The reloading manuals, of course, are written around blowback guns, and a good locked-breech gun can go somewhat hotter. I still have the gun and these days I keep it stoked with win sxt. good guns seem to last forever! The latest llamas seem to have really gone down in general quality, and aren't even locked breech anymore
