I'm seeing this as low as $279 on line. The G3C is one of the few striker-fired polymer 9's on the market that actually has a manual safety: though this will inspire vitriol from safety-haters, I think it's a smart move by Taurus if only to separate it from the herd. It's a market saturated with top heavy, hair-triggered plasty pistols and there's very little available for the traditionalists who want the weight savings offered by polymer but not the risk factor of accidentally shooting off a nut or severing their femoral artery whilst holstering their weapon. Overall, reviews on the new G3C point to good value for the money AND they come with 3 mags in the box! This from the Taurus WEBSITE:

The new Taurus G3c builds on the proven foundation that has made the compact G-series among the most popular personal defense/EDC handguns ever while advancing function, reliability, and durability to the next level. Furthermore, the G3c enters the market at a price point that continues the Taurus G-series handguns' industry leading cost-to-performance.

This from the FN WEBSITE:

Improving on the FNP™-45 Tactical, developed for the U.S. Joint Combat Pistol Program, the FNX™-45 Tactical was born and bred for battle. Like its legendary FN forefathers, this combat handgun was designed to not only survive the battlefield, but to emerge victorious. It is the latest in technological advancements in handgun engineering, offering .45 ACP performance and a host of unique features that no other handgun can match.

Its 15-round magazine is precisely engineered to take a dive to the prone position and naturally roll up toward the target. The checkered polymer frame has a low-bore axis for reduced felt recoil, enhanced operator control, and a grip angle that provides unmatched natural point of aim. Four interchangeable backstraps come standard to quickly customize the grip feel. All operating controls are fully ambidextrous for ease of use. The 5.3″ cold hammer-forged stainless steel barrel has a threaded muzzle to accept sound suppressors, compensators, and other accessories. The stainless steel slide has high-profile combat night sights and includes two mounting bases to accept multiple styles of optional red-dot electronic sights.

Sar pistols have been around for a while but their latest iteration - the outstanding 17+1 round Model 2000 9MM - is possibly the prettiest knockoff of the legendary CZ75 ever produced, and by all accounts just as reliable. Comes in black or stainless with a street cost ranging from $350 - $450. I think Sarsilmaz (a Turkish company manufacturing firearms since 1840) has actually perfected the profile of the original Czech weapon, though I'd like to see a decocker and top strap grooves to reduce glare. This from the WEBSITE:

The SAR Model 2000 is a hammer-fired double/single action pistol which features a forged steel frame, combat low drag sights and crowned barrel for accuracy. The sleek European design fits exceptionally well in the hand and will soon become your favorite. SAR USA is the exclusive U.S. importer for all firearms and ammunition products produced by Sarsilmaz Silah Sanayi of Istanbul Turkey. Sarsilmaz is one of the largest firearms manufactures in the world founded in 1840. They produce some of the highest quality firearms on the planet and supply many NATO countries military. SAR USA works closely with the engineering staff at Sarsilmaz to develop new firearms products for the American market and with many years of firearms manufacturing experience to build on SAR USA will soon be one of the major firearms companies in America. Yes, SAR USA is the exclusive importer of Sarsilmaz firearms, but it's much, much more.
