100% for looks! I can say that because the day I bought that pistol they had an otherwise identical pistol on the shelf without the ribbed slide! Llama apparently wanted to hedge their bets. 
The ONLY reason I bought the ribbed model was because the unribbed model had a very noticeable hitch in the trigger pull. I was afraid there might be a problem with the hammer and/or sear severe enough to require replacement, and not knowing enough about the insides of these at the time (they are actually 100% 1911 as I've since said many times), I was afraid of not being able to fix it, or even get parts. I've since thought I should have bought the plain slide, or perhaps both. Price was the same for each: $199! |

For reference, the above message is a reply to a message where: Why do you think Llama used a ribbed slide? Harvey Image below from Mark Freburg - Image Title: photos Image Info: Scanned photo of my 1960s-era Llama Especial .380ACP, an almost perfect clone of the 1911, save the slide rib, not found on all models, and the screwed-on plunger tub, versus most 1911 pistol's staked-on tubes. The Especial is blued steel with walnut stock panels, and is a locked breech pistol. Larger image available! Click image to see it.  |
