well as some of you know I bought home a Llama..the 9mm kind, not the animal type.

when I got it i picked up some Herter's 9mm steel case, berdan primed. if I had looked harder I would have noticed the steel case and passed on them, but al I saw was the cheap price.

well today I took out the Llama to "excercise" it. the only problem I encountered was when fired, it would cycle another round just fine..but it would fail to cock the hammer for the next shot, the hammer ends up in the 1/2 cock position. after disemmbling it and rechecking, several times with the same result. I was pretty bummed out....then I had a thought!

after several houres I found this "cheap" ammo has a velocity of around 1125 fps. and is consitered "weak" for a 1911. so heres the question..is this correct? other than this I found the Llama easy to handle and suprisingly accurate! btw..the hammer cocks properly whe slide is manuelally operated.

please help!

will get pictures up in a day or so.
