I take it this is for concealed carry.
Concealed carry rigs are carried way more than they are shot, typically. Personally, I'd go with either a J frame S&W with an inside the waist band holster.
If you want a 9 mm, pretty hard to beat one of the Rugers or even a small Glock. Don't worry about the trigger pull being a little on the heavy side -- you won't be shooting for 1" groupe at 100 yards. My last uniform pistol was a Sigarms P229 DAO in 40 S&W. Because it was DAO, the pull never changed. It was about 10 pounds, but s-m-o-o-t-h as oiled glass. It even got better after the first couple thousand rounds, and it was scary accurate -- 8" 12 shot group at 100 yards with the 3.875" bbl.
Trigger pull is a learned activity.
