Built on the 1911 platform, the Model IX-A uses a semi-automatic, single-action, short-recoil, tilting-barrel system. Its full-size configuration pairs a 5 inch barrel with a 7+1 capacity in .45 ACP, delivering the classic dimensions and handling associated with this design.
The pistol features all-steel construction with a blued finish on both the frame and slide. Controls and ergonomics include a push-button magazine release, a wide-spur hammer, and both a thumb safety and grip safety. Smooth hardwood grips with LLAMA medallions complete the factory configuration.
Sighting equipment consists of iron sights mounted to a ventilated and serrated rib on the slide. The front is a ramped blade with an orange insert, and the rear is a square-notch unit set on the rib for a clear sight picture.
Markings and provenance are clear and well-defined. The left slide legend reads "LLAMA CAL 45," while the right side reads "GABILONDO Y CIA., VITORIA (ESPAÑA)." The frame bears the Stoeger Industries South Hackensack NJ import mark alongside a "MADE IN SPAIN" stamp, confirming its Spanish manufacture and U.S. import route.
