Llama Model XI-B 9mm 4.5" Commander-Length 1911-Style Pistol, High-Polish Blued, Walnut Grips
This Spanish-made Llama Model XI-B delivers classic 1911 ergonomics in a commander-length 4.5-inch package. Imported by Stoeger Industries and built before Llama’s production changes of the mid-1990s, it pairs a high-polish blued carbon-steel frame and slide with smooth walnut grips. A longitudinally serrated rib runs the full length of the slide—an uncommon feature that adds both style and glare reduction.

Built on a forged carbon-steel frame, the XI-B retains the proven single-action trigger and dual safeties—thumb and grip—familiar to 1911 users. The shorter 4.5-inch barrel trims weight and length while maintaining a full-size grip for secure control and eight-round capacity.
The high-polish blued finish contrasts with the blued slide’s vertical serrations and unique top rib, giving the pistol a distinct look among commander-length 1911 variants. Smooth walnut panels with inlaid Llama medallions complete the classic presentation and sit flush against the frame for comfortable carry.
Fixed sights include a serrated ramp front blade and a square-notch rear in a dovetail, offering a clear sight picture without snag-prone edges. A spur hammer, solid trigger, and single-stack magazine channel the traditional feel collectors appreciate.
Stoeger import marks confirm its limited U.S. distribution, enhancing appeal for buyers seeking a less-common 9mm 1911-style pistol produced during Llama’s late-1970s to mid-1990s era.
