T/C, to be honest, I don't think I'd pay the $250. $225, yeah--but I personally don't have a preference for the two-tone, so I wouldn't pay extra for it.

Do you know why he's selling it? Is he tossing in any extra magazines or anything?

Speaking of magazines, there's a nasty rumor about the Llama/Firestorms and magazine compatability. I'd heard for years that standard 1911 mags won't work in Llamas--but they will. Llama mags, though, will *not* work in standard 1911's--the Llama mags are a tad wider than standard. This is true for both the 7-shot and 6-shot Commander mags.

Some of the 1911 after-market mags may take a little filing, because the magazine catch is a little different by about .01", but once fixed, they work perfectly. I'm speaking from personal experience.
