The Argentine Hi-Power, FM M90 or M95 can be had for under $400.00 and is an excelent choice. I own one and like it over all other all metal 9mm pistols I have shot.
Sarco.com show them in a "full size" and a "detective" model the later has a 3.5 inch Bbl and the "full size" (like mine) has a 5 inch Bbl.

Why the hatin' for plastic? 
Seriously, you're taking some good guns out of play, like one of my favorites, the S&W M&P.
Seriously, you're taking some good guns out of play, like one of my favorites, the S&W M&P.I'm not surprised that you had difficulty shooting the Glock well. It seems to me, that every person I speak with about Glocks shoots them well, or shoots them poorly. I do not meet hardly any middle-of-the-roaders with Re: to Glocks!
The first time I fired a rented Glock 17 I nearly regurgitated my supper! I returned the pistol early, and went directly to the XD counter and bought an XD. Within 20 minutes, I was back in the range, nailing the target dead-on every time. Later, I tried Glock again because my daughter wanted one. So, now that I owned one, well, I had to master it. Master it I did! It took me time.
I did not experience that need to relearn how to point with 1911s, BHPs, XDs, Rugers, etc...only with Glock did I need to practice pointing. Why? The grip angle? I really don't know. Now I own a G17 and a G19C. I enjoy them both and shoot them both very well. But, to feel comfortable switching between 1911s and Glocks, I had to switch out my flat mainspring housings to arched mainspring housings on all of my 1911s. That tells me it must be the Glocks' grip angle.
I suggest you check out the Browning High Power. What a tremendous pistol to shoot! They're just fun! The other pistol that you might consider is a 1911 in 9MM! Lordy how sweet those must be to fire!!! Some day I shall own one myself. Until then, I will have to content myself with my .38 Super.

Most likely I'll carry my Glock. I just want a good nine to take the test with. I just realized "The Souther Classic gun&knife show" is coming to Central Florida.
I also noticed that it's inbetween pay days. I'll hope that theres a bunch of excess guns that will flood the market after the show. So I can get a good deal. Damn.

Give the Ruger P95 a look. It's a great little gun at an outstanding price.
