Llama made a "Comanche III" .357 cal. Magnum, about 35-40 years ago and it looks almost like a Smith & Wesson with a 6-inch blue steel barrel. It is made in Spain and doesn't have any serial numbers. I think it has a high accuracy rate or I got lucky; saw a coyote sneaking up on the neighbors goat a long distance away. I took a rest on the post of the porch instead of regular grip, pulled down and the coyote rolled; it surprised the heck out of me. It's been a few years but I'm reasonably sure I was shooting high powered ammo with a full steel jacket.
As you probably know the more grains of powder the greater the accuracy. The bullet style determines the other part of the penetration distance. i.e., 3-6 in. body penetration where the bullet stays in the body, 6-10 in. body penetration which is also organ destruction, and 10-15 inch body penetration which, in most cases goes completely through the body. I left out a couple of the penetrations, but you get the idea.
I don't know if Llama is still sold in the United States but if so, they may have been required to add serial numbers. It sure would be interesting to know.
