Check out what Kahr has to offer. Good stuff, varying levels of features and expense. Don't know of any bad ones. I have the CW40, myself---two of 'em. Good carry guns.

All strikers not hammer. I'm having a hard time thinking of a small 9 with a hammer. Unless you go Makarov or something like that.

The Ruger LC9 is a hammer fired pistol, and the LC9s is striker fired.

Have a CW9 and a CW380. There is also a tiny 9 like the CW 380. Tiny little sucker. That's the CW380. They have a 9 the same size. Very accurate and reliable for a small pistol. Pictured next to the CW9 which is obviously larger. Maybe look at PM9?

What's the point of specifying hammer-fired? You could go with a kel tec pf-9 or something, but the trigger pull on that is a joke compared to the striker-fired m&p shield.
My FIL just picked up the new version of the m&p shield and I was very, very impressed with it. Good handling, good trigger, good size. Most accurate carry pistol I've been able to shoot.

The two main ones I carry are either a XDs or G43. I really like both of them.

What's the point of specifying hammer-fired? Just a guess, but maybe he specified it because that's what he wants? I carry AIWB, and won't carry anything without a hammer either. Striker fired is not always the answer.

Unless it's an external hammer, is there really a difference?

Striker fired is not always the answer. Did you read the rest of my post? Some hammer fired pistols have much worse triggers than anything with a striker. Is there another reason? If so, what is it? If not, why are you ignoring some really good options?

If not, why are you ignoring some really good options? just because some hammer fired guns may have a heavier trigger does not make them "worse" than a striker fired trigger pull. There are still lots of people that like DA/SA type guns. There are also lots of people that prefer a SAO/hammer fired gun. I personally carry a couple of different H&K guns that are hammer fired. They don't have the best shortest cleanest trigger pulls in the world, but they meet several different criteria that I deem much more important than a 3# Shield trigger. I personally like to have an external hammer to use as an extra level of safety during reholstering, because I carry AIWB. The OP listed a hammer in the features he was looking for. I'm sure he had a reason for having that requirement. back on subject..... OP, take a look at the H&K P30SK. G26 size comparable, awesome ergos, and a couple different trigger set-ups to choose from.

Might Break the bank but I just got a new Kimber Micro Carry CDP. This gun this is SO sweet. Shoots soft and accurate, VERY little recoil. Loves the 90 XTP and FMJ, I just got some Remington Defense ammo with the Golden saber clone. will test later.
I'm VERY happy with the tiny pistol. I have the Super Fly pocket holster and can carry it effortlessly in my short pocket.
Check it out, or don't, cuz you will want one

Locate a CZ 83 in 9mm, it will satisfy all your requirements.
