I know you mentioned that the like of STI and others are priced to high for your wishes.. but have you looked at the STI Spartan ? sub $800 and shoots like a dream, not a double stack only 8+1, but IMO when I do carry it, I just carry a few extra 8rd mags.

That being said, carrying a full size of any type can be a task, esp in the hotter months. I often carry my LC9 over my G30, G17 or 1911's, it just so much easier to carry and conceal. and I always carry a spare mag or four loaded with +p's ;) no matter what I carry.
