OP that SA EMP would be a great fit, you just need to get over the mental part of it being 9 or 9+1 rds. Which is less than a new glock of XD, so you feel under gunned, but you are not. My sig has 9 rds, you get over it, you just need a nice shootable gun, and you really only need a couple good shots. Its great to have a 18 rd mag for that one in a million thing.
But you want it nice, that size, that price, there are only so many choices.
That or look at a single action sig you should go shoot that, it will shoot as nice as a 1911, and you can get reliable 18 rd mags.
Not at all one of the "glamor" guns above. But, I really like my Colt LW Commander in 9mm. Less than $1 g.

Thanks for all the commentary, I ended up settling on a Dan Wesson Valkyrie in 9mm. Found a nice used one on Armslist and the seller happened to be in a location that coincided with where I was traveling this weekend.
Great gun. You will be very happy. Enjoy the colors up there.
