Awesome! I almost picked up a Star 32 last month that looks very similar. Can't wait to see you range report. Congratulations and enjoy!!

Grayfox, they are excellent pistole's. I purchased Llamas MicroMax 380 about six years ago and absolutely love it, great little pistole's. I thought it was sad when Bersa bought out the ailing Llama company and dropped the name. I had heard that they were plagued with problems but I've never known any one person who owned one and had an issue with it including myself.

I like the long grip length of the frame. Has 1911 style controls, but more handle to hold than a Mustang 1911. How many does the mag hold?

Nice Grayfox !!! I agree w/Carguy, It does resemble the Star pistol at first look ! I figured out that the pistol I am watching for is a Star SM Super 380. (Thanks for that great link Carguy!)
I have always heard that the Llama pistols are really decent shooters. They sure do sell quick, so there must be something to them. I too, am interested in hearing more about it. Is it a thin pistol? I consider thin to be around 1"-1and1/4". I like those thumbgrip style handles. Happy Shooting ! G

Vol,
It holds 7 in the mag plus one in the tube.
Garry,
Its a lil thinner than the P-64, but the P-64 is still my fav to carry.

After another trip to the range today, I would feel safe using this as a carry piece. Very easy to shoot & control. After all the horror stories I've heard, I guess I got lucky.

That appears to be a keeper Gray...be careful I have a feeling your friend with the other Llama is going bug you to death and he will end up with one day soon...

Hey Papabear, I borrowed the book "The Complete Encyclopedia of Pistols and Revolvers" by A.E. Hartink, from the Library,and it has this to say about that sweet looking pistol you have! (that is similar looking to the Star SM Super 380 that I like):
Llama Micromax .380/ModelIII-A ~ The Micromax was originally introduced as the Model II in 1933. The single action pistol in 9mm Short (.380) caliber has a Mag capacity of 7 rounds. In 1936, it was succeeded by Model III. This new model was actually the same as model II with a few minor modifications to the trigger mechanism. The production of Model III ceased in 1954, and it was succeeded by Model III-A in 1955.
In 1997, Llama renamed this pistol the Micromax. It was available in a blued and in a mat Chrome finish. The Micromax has an automatic firing pin safety, a grip safety and a safety catch on the left side of the frame. Both the slide catch and the safety catch are extended. There is a raised sight rib on the slide for the bead and the fixed rear sight.
The new Micromax is in .380 cal. with a mag. cap. of 7 rounds. Total length is 6-1/4", bbl. length is 3-11/16", Height is 4-1/4", and width is 1" .(PERFECT) Sight radius is 4-1/4", and empty weight is 22 oz. The Grips are made of synthetic material.
Thanks for the Pic and Happy Shooting Papabear!!! G
