Glad to see someone else recommended this line of firearms. I have the M&P 40 and have never had an issue with the gun with close to 1,000 rounds through it. Super reliable and very reasonably priced. At the time when I bought mine S&W was running a crazy deal on them where you got a $50 Rebate and two Free Mags with it. I bought it from Buds Gun Shop (online retailer) and after was all said and done was into it for around $400. My wife is even dead accurate with this thing so much so that I now leave that gun at home at all times for her and picked up a 1911 for carry. Like Elderboy mentioned they do offer it in a 9mm and it comes with three different sized back straps to try and help tailor it to different sized hands.
Also like others have mentioned get to the range and rent a couple different pistols or go to the range with friends who may have a wide array of guns. Best way to find out what you like is to actually shoot it. I was never a big 1911 guy until I went to the range with a friend who is a 1911 nut, I put a few rounds down range with a couple of his and knew right than and there I needed to add a 1911 to the family.
