Llama Super Comanche 44 magnum

Would a Llama 44 magnum be worth packing home if I could get it for cheap or not worth the effort? Saw one at the local gunshop. I was in a hurry and it had just come in and wasn't priced yet. Had an 8 1/2" barrel and a scope on the barrel.
I don't think so

Probably better to save for something . . . better.
But that's just my opinion.

Sort of what I figured - not a lot positive on the net

Sounds like a bit of a gamble and parts hard to come by.

I've only seen .45 Colt/.410 versions. I wouldn't give north of $250, unless the scope was really good.
This is the revolver made in the 80's

For grins I looked on gunbroker - not even ONE listed. That tells me enough, especially after googling and seeing people looking for parts. Not a real gotta have anyway and I'm not loading for 44 mag.
Yikes!

Now if it was an Astra, that was a good one.
I have an Astra 45 I love - I'd have snagged a 44 Astra

Astra 44's in Hollywood

The Astra "Terminator" (3 inch 44 Mag) apparently has some Hollywood credentials too. Fred Dryer carried one in the TV series "Hunter", and the anti-gun leftist George "Looney" Clooney carried one in the movie "Dusk Til Dawn".
I snagged an Astra 41Mag

never seen another one ever. Cylinder throats were small, but lapped 'em out to .411 from .409. It shoots like a stripped ass ape currently. Could this be a rare Astra ??

A guy tried to sell me a Llama .45 for a hundred bucks one one time. I wouldn't take it. Some things just ain't worth foolin' with.
I knew the autos were junk - former BIL had a 380

that wasn't much better than a paperweight. Basically fell apart.
