Guns Listing ID: 508941



For sale is a Llama Model XV, a semi-automatic .22LR pistol crafted by Gabilondo y Cía in Spain. Known for its compact 1911-style design and high-quality construction, this pistol was produced from 1955 to 1997 and became one of Llama’s most popular rimfire models. This particular example was imported by Stoeger Arms, adding to its historical significance.

The Model XV operates on a simple blowback system and features a single-action trigger, manual safety, and grip safety, making it a scaled-down version of the Colt 1911. This design made it a favorite among collectors and target shooters looking for a smaller, lower-recoiling alternative to the full-sized 1911. Firearm comes with one (1) 10 round magazine and a soft pistol case.

Historical Background:
Llama, founded in 1904, gained international recognition for producing firearms modeled after American designs, particularly the Colt 1911. The Model XV, introduced in 1955, was a well-regarded “plinking” pistol, offering the aesthetics and handling of a full-sized 1911 in a .22LR chambering. Later models featured ventilated ribs and adjustable sights, demonstrating Llama’s commitment to continuous improvement.

Collectors often refer to the Model XV as a \"mini 1911\" due to its compact size and classic design. It was produced for over 40 years, making it one of Llama’s longest-running and most successful rimfire pistols.

Condition:
This pistol is in very good vintage condition, with signs of use consistent with its age. The metal retains much of its original finish, with some expected patina. The grips are solid, showing minor handling wear. Mechanically, the pistol is fully functional, with a crisp trigger and smooth cycling action
