If you want 9mm and a single action trigger, get a Browning Hi-Power.
Really, I like most anything chambered in 9mm. I never cried about thick grips, weight, or the M&P trigger. All are training issues, easily overcome. As long as it works, I really don’t care which model. M&P 9, the full size job, is actually one of my favorite pistols and I don’t notice the trigger anymore. It’s ALL solved by training
