Analysis

This sub-compact .45 Auto pistol offers a solid option for concealed carry, with a design focused on delivering performance in a small package. Its accuracy is commendable for its size, providing consistent grouping at typical defensive ranges. The ergonomics are well-suited for users with smaller hands, though those with larger grips may find the frame slightly cramped. Reliability is a strong point, as it cycles smoothly with a variety of ammunition under standard conditions. However, maintenance can be somewhat cumbersome due to the compact design, requiring more effort for disassembly and cleaning. Availability of replacement parts may also pose a challenge for some owners. The trigger pull is crisp, averaging around 5.5 pounds, which aids in control, while the felt recoil is noticeable but manageable for most shooters familiar with the .45 Auto round. Overall, it’s a practical choice with minor trade-offs.

Llama Mini-Max subcompact 45
By WARTHOG on 19 Jan 2018
Llama Minimax subcompact is not bad if you modify it. You need a metal plunger tube to replace the plastic tube, and possibly replace the ejector arm. If you do that it works fine. ...is a carbon copy of PARA WARTHOG 45acp??
