I have a Llama Commanche 111 that I bought about 30 years ago. I used it when I used to shoot PPC so that was
lots of rounds ( light .38's ).It uses K frame speedloaders, K frame grips .
It has seen many rounds of regular power .38's & .357's. It is still tight and solid
and has never missed a beat. No broken parts. It is one of my favourite guns.
However, parts for them can be very hard to find.
Are they as good as a S&W ? Pretty close IMO. Pricewise though, don't pay S&W prices.
