CUSTOM LLAMA .45?!?!?!

Whoda thunk it?  A custom Llama .45.  I never thought about putting this much time and effort into a Llama, but a friend brought me his and asked what I could do with it.  He said he had fired about 2000 rounds through it and it never jammed.  After looking it over I decided to give it a go.  It took a nice 5# trigger job, without replacing any parts, except the sear spring.  I replaced the weak (10#?) recoil spring with an 18 1/2# Wolff spring, and installed a better fitting barrel bushing and a full length guide rod.  I replaced the slide stop with a standard 1911 part.  I recontoured and refitted the thumb safety.  I checkered the front strap, mainspring housing, magazine release button and the bottom of the trigger guard.  I octogoned the top of the slide and installed Wilson combat sights.  It got a Teflon finish and custom grips.  I had to make the grips because the hole spacing on the Llama is different and standard 1911 grips would not fit.  Pretty is as pretty does.  It looks good, and shoots like a house afire.
