The Llama M87 was an early 'out of the box' competition pistol based on the Beretta 92, featuring upgrades like adjustable sights, a refined trigger, and ambidextrous safety for IPSC. Despite its advanced features for the early 1990s, including a high MSRP, it faced commercial failure due to import bans, evolving competition needs, and a lack of 'Major' caliber options.
Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons provides an in-depth look at the Llama M82, a Spanish service pistol developed in the late 1970s/early 1980s. While mechanically a copy of the Beretta 92, it features an enclosed slide and a more complex internal design. The M82 entered Spanish army service in 1987, replacing older Star pistols, and its production concluded around 1997.
