So, I've slipped over the precipice, going from Gun Enthusiast to Gun Nut (my definition mostly falls down to 'gun enthusiasts need a reason to buy a guy, gun nuts need a reason.not. to buy a gun' ). When a trio of old llamas in what I presumed was.38 Super rolled into the shop, I couldn't stop myself from picking up all three, even though I wasn't really sure that they shoot.38 Super. Ex4 to mq4 2017 download.
A little research later, and I.think. they're Model VII's, which means they shoot 9mm Largo or.38 ACP But, I'm not 100% sure I've got them nailed down. Or, I'm hoping they really are chambered for.38 Super. So, I'm hoping someone here is a collector of old Llamas and can help me more positively identify them. All three are identical in markings.
Along the left side of the slide, it says: GABILONDO Y Cia. ELGOIBRA (ESPANA) CAL. 9m/m 38 'LLAMA' the right says: 'LLAMA' EXTRA My research lead me to a page that lists the different models, what they shot, how to identify them. But, it has the ever-so-helpful line: Model VIII is chambered for the.38 Super. The gun had a grip safety.
If you notice the magazine on these guns have a wide base. The base is below the frame. The early version looked exactly like the model VII and was also a Modelo Extra Besides the markings, this gun looks no different from a standard 1911, other than the presence of a lanyard loop.
It has a grip safety, no vented rib on top. I'm reasonably sure it's either a Model VII or a Model VIII. Theoretically, firing 9mm Largo in it would be safe, as it's a lower pressure cartridge than a.38 Super, but would not cycle the slide well. Call me crazy, but I'm just not too keen on trial and error when it comes to setting off 25,000psi explosions with guns that may be older than my parents.

The Ruby was either very good or very bad.Many are in drawers and “rat holes” in France “just in case”. There is a holster for the Ruby that looked like an ordinary rifle ammo pouch.It carried the pistol and two magazines.
The lump on the Ruby slide to prevent accidental moving of the safety was done during the great rebuild of the 1920s & 30s. The Ruby saw long service for a supposedly poor quality weapon. There were Spanish revolvers copies of the Smith & Wesson in 8mm that were also widely used during WW1 and WW2. All in all it is said that nearly a million pistols and revolvers were made in Spain for the French Military. There are still Rubies rebuilt in the 30s in storage somewhere in France. I do not have any grips, but I have a question.
You’re the only other person I know of besides Ed Buffaloe that even mentions a Stosel. I am desperate to find out about the ejector for mine. Most Ruby-like pistols have a notch cut in the back end of the slide to accommodate the ejector. Mine does not have that notch. The ejector, which is broken on mine, appears to be some kind of mechanism that rotates up into position when the magazine is inserted.
If you will send me an email, I’ll send you pictures of what I mean. If yours sounds like mine, I’d sincerely love to have a couple of pictures of your ejector so I can either find one or make two or three. I have an EDM cutter at my disposal and can probably have a handful made.
Please let me know. Most of the variations dis-assemble the same. With the slidelock/safety UP, pull the slide back to catch. Rotate barrel 180 degrees and remove.
The slide should the move forward to the muzzle end and come off. SOMETIMES this will not work.
IN THIS CASE after the barrel is removed push the slide forward til it stops and with a non-marring hammer or other suitable tool tap the back end of the slide SHARPELY. It should then come on off the receiver. The hammer has a cam on the top front which should allow its’ depression when pushing the slide forward BUT the alignment is incorrect causing the need of more force than usually necessary. Hello I have an Alkartasuna 32 I’ve just restored and had that initial problem removing the slide. This gun was the victim of dry firing and intermittently dropped the internal hammer upon function checking.
I took the grips off and used a punch that would hold the internal hammer back far enough to allow the slide over the top of it. It came off as it should. I then re set the full cock notch to a sharper positive seat angle and it needed very little other fitting to be a safe trigger system.

Hope this trick of trapping the internal hammer back a little further helps. I have a “Ruby” or “spnish” style 32 acp that I cannot find ANY markings other than serial number on due to some one jewling the whole pistol. I am trying to determine exactly what it is so as to find a magazine for it. Is there any way of telling who made it other than by the letters that WERE on the left side of frame? The slide serrations are straight and as to taking sldie off, the barrel will come out but cannot get the slide off at all.
