techmike Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 As it says-looking for a 9mm Llama, would prefer the mini max model, but will consider other options. I am in Ohio. Thanks, Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Joe Posted March 29, 2011 Report Share Posted March 29, 2011 I have a new in the box mini max .45 cal. As you look around, please let me know what they are going for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I was getting excited until I read .45...Gunbroker has 'em for $250 to $300 and higher. Doesn't seem to be much movement on the higher priced ones. However, they seem to be well used. A NIB one should do well. Trying to talk myself into another .45 as we speak. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Joe Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I was going to clean it up and fire it this weekend, believe it or not. I have a case of 1953 Argentine ammo that I figure it is time I should start shooting up. Why do you want a Mini Max? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted March 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I started looking for a 9mm that:1. Isn't plastic2. Doesn't cost an arm & leg3. is 1911 style Saw a Llama 9mm on another forum and really liked the look, while reading up on them, ran across the mini max.

rodent.22 Posted March 30, 2011 Report Share Posted March 30, 2011 I've got a minimax .45 that uses the double stack mags. Bought it new, shoots great. :grin: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Joe Posted March 31, 2011 Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 What do you think about the M57 or cz-82? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted March 31, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2011 I have a CZ 82, and it is a great shooter. I stripped the powder coat, dura coated it and put a set of walnut grips on, and it looks pretty good too. Found a guy that makes a real nice little IWB holster for it, so it is a good CC option. Have never handled the 75. Picture below is after I dura coated it, but the grips are not the walnut ones it ended up with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rodent.22 Posted April 1, 2011 Report Share Posted April 1, 2011 How is the fit & finish? I have never actually seen one except for pictures.TM Here is a couple of pictures, the Bond .45/.410 I added for scale. The Llamas were not rough guns, my Minimax is matte finished.

rodent.22 Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 This Minimax with 9 rounds in the mag and one in the chamber will pull your pants down to your knees, it's all steel and heavy.....The same size as the warthog. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michigan Joe Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 I read that the MinMax .45 can use normal 1911 magazines, even though they would be a little longer than the one built for the gun. Is that true? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted May 12, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 12, 2011 Don't know about that Joe. But I just bought a 9mm minimax on gunbroker for $240. ;D Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

techmike Posted May 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 24, 2011 Just got the 9mm Llama today! Rodent, either you have REALLY big paws, or your .45 minmax is smaller than my 9mm minimax.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodent.22 Posted May 28, 2011 Report Share Posted May 28, 2011 Them paws have huge palms and little fingers LOL. :confused: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodent.22 Posted September 30, 2011 Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 TM how did your 9mm Llama work out? Was it polished or matte finish? :beer: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted September 30, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 30, 2011 It is in great shape and shoots great. The finish is..... old. No rust or pitting, trying to decide if I want to dura-coat it or send it our for bluing. Precision Bluing Have been spending way too much time locating extra mags for it, finally found TripleK holsters & mags in San Diego. Ordered two mags, and they fit and function, but they are 1 9mm round too long. So I sent them pictures, and they said keep those, we will make you two new ones. They arrived yesterday, but they don't latch in the pistol - the notch is slightly off. But the gun is accurate, and low felt recoil due to the massive weight of an all steel gun. :thumb: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
techmike Posted September 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2012 Hey Rodent, I found a guy in Texas that makes wood grips for Llamas. (4S Brand) For under $30! Before & after pics of my MiniMax9. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
