Just for comparision from this part of the country.

I was in a local store a couple of weeks ago, here in CT, and they had that model 2.25"/.357 Mag SP101 and the DAO model for $549 each. (A gun I have been considering, thats why I know what they were asking).

I did a search online and found some cheaper ($450-$475 range)... But, after you factor in shipping cost and FFL dealer tranfer fees, the price was just about up to the local price. In that situation, I would spend a few more dollars and buy local. No headaches of shipping, transfers, waiting or worry about having to return through reversing the process (s/h + FFL) if there is a problem. The few extra dollars spent is WELL worth it in my opinion for the peace of mind buying locally.
