There's a chain of gunstores/ranges here in Florida, and maybe elsewhere called Shoot Straight. They're generally pretty expensive, but whe they have a sale? Dayum! They've got stainless Smith J frames at $370, LC 9s with laser for $400 and what got my attention was the Smith M@P AR, with sights, for $650. I'd check them out. I don't have the url, but google them.

PS Their Federal ammo is priced pretty well also. Its $239 per thousand for 9mm $350 for .223.
