Metro Arms Corporation was established in 2005 in Manila, Philippines by former competitive shooter Hector Rodriguez, and builds 1911-pattern pistols. Its guns are sold under the American Classic trademark, and the company reintroduced Llama-branded models in 2016. TriStar has imported the SPS 1911 and American Classic lines into the United States since 2022, after Eagle Imports held distribution until 2021. Models include the 3011 double-stack series, the Bobcut, the Bullseye in 10mm and the SPS Pantera and Vista, in .45 ACP, .40 S&W, 9mm and .38 Super.
