The best one could hope for for that price could be a use ruger.

I do not trust buying used in most cases unless I know the person who bought it NEW.

The S&W sigmas are around $300. Havent heard anything bad about them except that the trigger is heavy.

Both of my brothers have Sigmas.
One is a 40 and the other is a 9mm.
I think the 40 was bought about the time of the Clinton agreement fiasco for $279 and the 9mm was a few weeks ago for $259.

with most auto pistols being fed a steady diet of factory ammo I wouldn't worry much about a used pistol.

Then again my favorite toy store will let me field strip anything used that I'm interested in buying.

They have learned that people who wish to look
inside won't buy at all if they aren't allowed to look.

That pretty much sums up the opinion of the departments I did some work for. The Kansas City PD replaced all of theirs because they could not keep enough strikers in stock for the broken ones. I would try Ruger.

I just bought a EEA Zastava EZ 40, it is Serbian made and imported to the US by EEA. I paid 370$ NIB. Very nice gun.

Yeah, you are goin got have to go used. A Ruger, S&W4006 or GLcok are probably your best bet for a $300 gun. They are out there. I bought a slightly used G26 @ auction in Dec. for $330.
