Taurus G3 9mm Matte Stainless 9mm 4" Barrel 15/17 Rnd - $319.99 (Free S/H on Firearms)

This is the newer model, full size G3 with 17 round capacity, 4 inch barrel and a (supposedly) improved trigger. Plus this is a stainless steel slide version. That's gonna cost more than the older 12+1 G2C compact, if you can even find one in stock. As you mentioned, the pandemic, riots, upcoming election and good ol' supply and demand are all working to drive guns and ammo prices up. The blued G2C hasn't been on sale anywhere for $200 for quite a few months and I suspect it won't be that cheap again for a long time. Right now you are looking around $280+ for a G2C and around $320+ for a G3 when you can find them. The list of 9mm pistols under $300 is getting shorter and shorter.
