S&W SD9VE or SD40VE. Typically around $300 at Academy. Sometimes on sale for $280. I have one with an Apex trigger kit. Nice little 9.
I would go with a Ruger P-series. I know there not made new anymore but a P89 or P90 is easily attainable for under $300. And if you do a little looking you should be able to find a P95 at that price point, though I prefer the alloy frame versions.
make this guy an offer and have it shipped to your ffl.... http://www.armslist.com/posts/286453...8-spl-like-new
