Introduction:

The Llama M82 is a late Cold War era pistol of Spanish origin. It was developed by Llama for use by the Spanish military.

Design:

The M82 is a full size double action / single action pistol. The internal mechanism is somewhat similar to the Beretta M951 and Walther P38. The M82 has a steel frame and slide. As such it is rather heavy and durable.

Firepower:

The M82 fires the 9x19mm Parabellum round from a 15 round dual stack magazine. It is a semi-automatic pistol with an effective range of several dozen meters.

Users:

The M82 was acquired by the Spanish military as its standard service pistol. Nowadays it is supplemented by newer designs such as the H&K USP and S&W M&P9. The Llama M82 was also sold on the civilian market and was exported in small quantities for law enforcement and military use.

Variants:

M82 Standard full size model with fixed sights.
M82-LM Lightweight model with aluminum frame. 0.88 kg empty weight.

And I've owned one since about 1985 with one mag. I'd looked for mags for that pistol forever with no success. I'd still buy another couple if I could find them or some other makers mags for a different gun that would work in it.

Given to me by the general of the Ping On tongs in Boston.

How to hell did you come across this dinosaur :ROFLMAO:

Someone is out of their mind asking that price. It was a 300.00 gun when they were new. Can't get parts nor mags for it. It's a wall hanger for the most part.

Now the mags are available after decades of not being so.

Thanks for the heads up

Here is another one…..

Walther PPK:

Brown Air gun Rectangle Wood Trigger

White Air gun Trigger Line Gun barrel

Photograph White Vertebrate Air gun Trigger


The most common variant is the Walther PPK, a smaller version of the PP with a shorter grip, barrel and frame, and reduced magazine capacity. A new, two-piece wrap-around grip panel construction was used to conceal the exposed back strap.The smaller size made it more concealable than the original PP and hence better suited to plain-clothes or undercover work. It was released in 1931.

"PPK" is an abbreviation for Polizeipistole Kriminal (literally "police pistol criminal"), referring to the Kriminalamt crime investigation office. While the K is often mistakenly assumed to stand for kurz (German for "short"), as the variant has a shorter barrel and frame, Walther used the name "Kriminal" in early advertising brochures and the 1937 GECO German catalog.

The PPK saw widespread use. Nazi leader Adolf Hitler committed suicide with his PPK (.32 ACP/7.65mm) in the Führerbunker in Berlin. A Walther PPK .32 (gun number 159270) was used by Kim Jae-gyu to kill South Korean leader Park Chung-hee. A PPK carried by Princess Anne's personal police officer James Beaton infamously jammed during a kidnapping attempt on the princess and her husband.

The fictional secret agent James Bond used a Walther PPK in many of the novels and films: Ian Fleming's choice of Bond's weapon directly influenced the popularity and notoriety of the PPK. Fleming had given Bond a .25 Beretta 418 pistol in early novels, but switched to the PPK in Dr. No (1958) on the advice of firearms expert Geoffrey Boothroyd. Although referred to as a PPK in the film adaption of 1962, the actual gun carried by actor Sean Connery was a Walther PP.

Actor Jack Lord, who played Felix Leiter in Dr. No, was presented with a gold-plated PPK with ivory handgrips, given to him by his friend Elvis Presley. Presley himself owned a silver-finish PPK, inscribed "TCB" ("taking care of business").

Actor Freddie Prinze killed himself by a gunshot to the head with an Astra Constable, a copy of the PPK. He died 33 hours after shooting himself.

I also own an original german ppk in 22lr. I had the barrel replaced with a PP barrel, had the end threaded to 1/2x28 and now it's my James Bond gun with the can on it. It functions very well with s/v loads, the subsonics work fairly well.

The pp barrel is 3.9" while the ppk 22lr barrel was just 3.3". I've not shot it without the can on it. The Brown plastic grips were original OEM on the pp/ppk. I replaced mine with the better known [ and ones I prefer ] black panels.

On my German made s/s ppk 380 model, the finger grip mags sometimes force a feed issue. It's due to the force applied to the rear/back strap which set the mag as a slightly different angle of attack to the feed ramp. I only use the flush mags in mine

Mostly I'm a lot more interested in how a gun functions than I am in how it looks. But I have always thought that the PPK was one of the best looking guns ever made.

I just want you to know, Denvered, that as a certified Glock fanboy, it did hurt just a little bit to put a "like" on Post #9. :)

In early 77, the new PI boss was carrying a ppk/s daily. I'd never seen one before that except in movies [ of course I was a young pup then of 25 ]. We went to the sandpit one Sunday shortly after going to work for him where I shot his ppk/s finding it one of the most accurate pistols I'd fired [ and it and the HKP7, also another fixed barrel pistol have remained the most accurate pistols I've fired ], the next morning saw me at the gun shop where I secured one of my own.

Carried that pistol into bad situations in the combat zone for near a year. I've owned and sold several since then and still have the blued 22lr ppk and the s/s ppk 380.

Speaking of Llama…..
This was handed to me in repayment of a loan in 1980. A Vietnam Vet. I wouldn’t take his money.

Air gun Trigger Gun barrel Gun accessory Wood


The vz. 38 is a semi-automatic pistol manufactured from 1939 to 1945 and chambered in .380 ACP (in Europe called 9×17mm Browning Short). The barrel is attached to the frame by a hinge, allowing for very easy disassembly. Certain aspects of the pistol are covered by Czechoslovakian patent 65558 which may also be found as Finnish patent FI18533 from 1939.

The pistol was never used by the Czechoslovak military, as the vz. 38 orders were not yet delivered when Germany occupied Czechoslovakia in 1938. Several vz. 38s, modified to have a manual safety, were exported to Bulgaria before the German occupation. Most of the pistols saw service in Greater German police and security forces, and despite several issues the vz. 38 was still in production until 1945. Some were captured used by Yugoslav partisans.

If that's a blow back 9mm, the slide is likely to be quite heavy. Nice 411 on this gun Caleb

Shoots 9mm Largo. I took it to George Roghaar in Boca for refinishing. He’s an old timer, lives near my old house. He told me to keep it as is, it’s from the early 1930’s and hasn’t been redone.
