Heard that production is ceasing and that the company is shutting down. Is it true?

As far as the quality of Llama pistols was concerned, it varied tremendously. A lot of their guns were of medicore quality. BUT some of their pistols like the Spanish Army Contract Models 82's were top notch. Of cource they sold for $900, when you could buy a Beretta 92 for $500, during the same time frame.
In a crisis she would NEVER, EVER have been able to pull the slide back to chamber a round. That little sucker must have a 700lb recoil spring.
It shot just fine, altho poi was slightly r/l poa. Could have been partially my fault tho.
It's one of the few pistols/revolvers that after shooting I did not want. I hate that powerful recoil spring.
I thought I might want to buy the little Llama, but it just for some reason didn't grow on me like most firearms do.
Why buy a 6yr old Llama of questionable quality when if I wanted a 380cal pistol I could pick up a new Bersa Thunder 380 for less than $200, new w/lifetime warranty?
Oh yeah, I don't want a 380....[:D]
