If you look hard enough you can sometimes find this model on sale for as low as ~$315 (which is a damn good deal for carry/backup piece of this quality). For that reason I'd probably just go NIB instead of the 'Grade A' here, but those 'Grade C' for $225, that's a great deal for a 'who cares what it looks like" backup gun. I don't like DAOs at all and even I'd consider one of these. Good find.
