SIG Man, $420 is a bit high (you didn't say whether it was blued of stainless, stainless is usually $25-30 more than blued), I paid $395 for a blue 232 18 mos ago, then saw it at a show for $365, and have seen it cheaper in ads (but if you buy mail order figure in shipping and FFL xfer fees). The dealer was right though, you won';t find it at THAT price, but probably one much better. The 232 differs from the 230 in the grips (a bit fatter palm swell) and three dot sights, but otherwise, it's the same gun (the stainless is all stanless, whereas the blude gun has an alloy frame, steel slide). The blued model is about 6 oz lighter than the stainless, which is nicer to carry, but haws a bit more muzzle flip and felt recoil. Mine has been eminently reliable (it has never jammed or misfed) on anything I've fed it and is very accurate, a nice shooter overall. Good luck, M2
