I dont know where you live, but here in TN the 229's are bringing big dollars. Actually most hammer fired Sigs are. I had a stock PCR, the 229 has a Gray Guns SRT trigger and some nice sights. It was an even trade and I'm thrilled with it. The trigger is real nice, and after putting 4-500 rounds thru it, it now has a light mounted on the rail and its my nightstand gun.
