915A - how a gun feels in your hand at the sales counter is not exactly how it's gonna feel in your hand when you shoot it and how it feels when you fire a round or two is not the same as when you fire a whole lot of rounds, particularly with some of the semi-autos that have sharply checkered grip frames.

My advice is the same for everyone in your position: go to one or more indoor ranges that rent guns and try as many different ones as you think might meet your general criteria. B.S. with the owner about what you thought, after firing them. Some ranges will give you big discounts on the second, third, etc. rental at the same session. Also ask the owners what they would NOT recommend and why.

It costs more to do this, but not as much as you will lose if you buy a gun you are unhappy with and then turn around and dump it and start over. Unfortunately, most gun shops that don't have their own indoor range will not recommend this to you, because they naturally fear that you will buy from the guy who rents one to you.
