I love my P225. They are not at all hard to find used, there are a bunch of used (very good cond) P225's right now at K-Y Imports for $329. This is what I paid for mine and is a good deal IMHO. Better hurry, they don't have very many.
Rather than forking out the $$$$$ on a P228 check out the Dlask D-394. Josed Dlask, a former engineer with CZ, is making a P228 clone in Canada, you can even use P228 mags and parts in it. I did find the thin, cheap, plastic grips, not to my liking, but at $249 NIB from SOG I think I can over look this one fault. If you want one with a steel frame you will have to wait, it will not be released until the end of the year.
