Well, I may as well throw my opinion into the mix as well.
I have an XD SC in .40 and I'm able to manage the recoil quite well, though I agree that for some it may be too much. It definitely isn't the gun I enjoy shooting the most, but I don't mind feeding a few boxes through it regularly. The same platform in 9mm would be a great choice for someone seeking greater capacity and/or less recoil, IMO.
About the only gun on the market now that I'd consider swapping my XD SC for is the Sig 239 SAS. It is a sweet gun, and while the grip & slide length are longer than the XD SC, it is still very concealable. The only thing that has held me back is the $$$.
I just can't recommend a Taurus. I'm not bashing them. I just can't do it.
I also can't recommend the Sig 250 because of its DAO trigger & hammer design. I loved that gun, until I pulled the trigger and thought, WTF? It is a surprisingly poorly executed design by Sig, IMO.
