cgeyser,
If you can find/try a CZ-97b.
It's a 45acp with a very different but comfortable feel.
Think if you want a larger pistol, you may like that one.

One thing to keep in mind is the bigger the gun, the longer the barrel, the less recoil and muzzle flip you have to deal with when compared to a smaller gun firing the same round. Sometimes a longer barreled revolver can make shooting bigger calibers more tolerable. Many revolver calibers accept a range of ammo that gives you room to grow.
Years ago I taught a (smaller) lady to shoot .44 specials in my 7 1/2" Ruger Redhawk. A dozen rounds later and she was hooked on full power magnum loads, and shot them well. She was later nicknamed "Magnum Smurf".

I'll echo Powderman,,,

If you want to stay with a 9mm,,,
The CZ-75B is one fine shooting handgun.
And, they be very pretty.
But if you want something with a larger caliber,,,
I'm with all the people who say go to a .45 ACP of some ilk.
Right now 9mm and .45 ACP are the least expensive centerfire ammo you can find,,,
So for pure economics they both make a lot of sense.
But allow me to point you in another direction entirely,,,
Have you considered stepping down to a pistol that shoots .22 rimfire?
I'm not talking about a cheap little Saturday night special,,,
I'm talking about something with high quality,,,
And capable of pinpoint accuracy,,,
All with inexpensive ammo.
Consider a Ruger 22/45 with a 5.5" barrel,,,
Here is a picture of a pair of them in stainless steel.
These pistols have given me and my friends many hours of fun,,,
And the inherent accuracy of these pistols out-of the-box is amazing.
In other words they aren't toys pistols.
Anyways, I just wanted to give you a different viewpoint to consider.
Happy searching,,,
