Pistol guy looking to buy first revolver. Current object of my affection is a Llama Comanche .357. Any comments from present and past owners would be welcome. Also what condition issues should I look for that could be deal killers?

I just sold my 4" Comanche. It was my ATC revolver for years and it was very reliable.

I always carried it in a #3 Uncle Mike full flap holster with some HKS speedloaders so it was still in great shape.

The only downside will be spare parts if you need them. Mine never did.

It was nice teamed up with my Timberwolf. I'd only need one box of cartridges when I went to the field. The Llama on my hip and the Timberwolf in my tent.

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.
 
Had a 6" Comanche I in 22LR. Was rather large for a 22. N frame I believe. Well made but parts including grips are an issue. Same thing goes for Llama autos. Mags and grips are impossible to find.

Just do the standard revolver lockup tests and cylinder gap inspection and you will be fine. They are well made, just a PITA if something goes wrong.

Would have to be offered at a very good price before I would consider another one.
