taurus g3c 9mm. msrP: $305

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.
