I have a P227 that I picked up used but in very good condition some years ago. I don't remember how much,just that it was a GOOD price.
To me, it feels very similar to a P226, just a tad bit larger. VERY good feel in the hand, for me at least. I'm not crazy about DA/SA autos, so that feature doesn't do much for me, but both pulls are very smooth and reasonably weighted, certainly fine for a defensive type handgun.
I haven't shot mine much, but with what I have shot, I found it to be very accurate and reliable. One of the most accurate service type handguns I have ever shot, and I've shot a lot of them. Still won't top my older Beretta 92FS for accuracy, but close.
Overall, a good gun, if a little large for the standard 10rd magazine capacity. With how large the gun is, I would have expected 12 or 13 rd magazines. Maybe they kept it to 10 rds to keep the overall size of the butt down? It wouldn't be my first choice to carry, but if forced to carry it, I wouldn't feel bad about it.
