Aside from the DA/SA the GLOCK 26 is your weapon.

 

You can go with an FN FNP9, but o think they are 4".

 

Taurus millennium generation 2 is a pre-staged trigger like a Glock, but it reverts to DA mode for second strike capability.
One of those with a stainless steel upper and a polymer lower wouldn't be a bad choice, and it's inexpensive too.

I've heard good things about both the Beretta Storm and the FNP, but have no experience with either. The last DA polymer frame pistols I had were both Berettas, a 9000 subcompact and a full sized 90-two. Both shot great and handled well, for the most part, but the 90-two was too big for my needs at the time, and the 9000's slide ran inside the rails, and was difficult for my fat fingers and thumb to manipulate. Having said that, I can only attest to Beretta's quality, though their customer service leaves much to be desired. I have only hearsay to offer for FN.
The Gen 4 Glocks have grip options, for what it's worth. My Gen 4 19 fits better than the Gen 3 ever did. Might be worth a look, unless you're totally committed to the DA/SA thing.

 

That was my first thought.

The FNS compact is 3.6", but is SA only. Otherwise, that's a pretty good bet. Better trigger than a Glock, reasonably priced and a good shooter out of the box.

I have no idea why FNH never released a compact version of the hammer fired series. They were on the FNHUSA website several years ago and they just never appeared.

Take a look a the Bersa 9 UC Pro.

It seems to meet your specs. I carry the 45UC Pro. Love it. Its reliable, fairly inexpensive, and fun to shoot. I can only imagine the 9mm would be the same.

Edit*** I just noticed that the frame is alloy, not polymer. Still a good firearm

 

H&K P2000sk or H&K P30sk

I like my P2000 and my P30, but I don't own the sk models.

 

There's a seller on ODT with a Beretta 9000s. That fits your description perfectly.

Guys, I'm disappointed in you. No mention of EAA?

On sale for $289.99

Or if you want to go the 10mm route. This one has a 3.6" barrel:

QUOTE: I've carried a couple steel frame Da/sa that where nearly perfect fir me besides the weight. I prefer the trigger over a Dao pistol.

MY COMMENT: I wouldn't call a Glock's trigger system a Double Action Only. Much of the striker's spring compression is pre-staged for you by the cycling of the slide.
You just have to add 5-6 lbs. of additional pressure (on the trigger) to fire it. Your finger isn't doing ALL the work.
Glocks, Springfield XD's, S&W M&P pistols, and other such "safe action" striker fired guns have MUCH BETTER triggers-- shorter in travel and lighter in weight-- than either a DA revolver or a true DAO semi-auto, like the first generation Taurus PT-111 that I had.

 

I'll have to second that. While I enjoy my other firearms, I can fire my Glock almost as fast as a full-auto.

Seriously, once you get a feel for the reset (which doesn't take long), firing quick succession shots is easy.

 

I'd recommend one of the following:

- H&K P30SK
- H&K P2000SK
- Beretta PX4 Subcompact

 

Kind of wish I'd seen that before I bought my Tristar. Of course nobody's saying I can't get both...

 

Great review of the Beretta PX4 compact by a very serious shooter: https://pistol-forum.com/showthread.php?16519-The-PX4-Compact-might-be-my-DA-SA-Glock-19
