Sometimes I hate this job...
Okay, first:
The Llamas work just fine, and don't let anyone convince you otherwise. They even look pretty nice, too.
They're a great bargain for the price. More than your money's worth.
They have a bad reputation that stems from their early days when their steel was about as hard as lukewarm butter.
This is no longer the case, but the stigma is sticking and doesn't seem shakable.
So... yep, they're gonna point and laugh.
Stupid, but true.
One thing, though: if you get one and practice with it at a range by yourself 'till you're better than they are, then show up and blow them away (group-wise) with it!
They'll stop laughing immediately.
