Your Beretta 96 has a Double Action - Single Action trigger. When de-cocked, you have a long, relatively heavy initial double-action trigger press to get the first round off, and then subsequent, lighter, single-action trigger presses until the gun is again made safe/de-cocked. Since you don't mention whether the single-action presses are a heavier weight than is comfortable, I assume the issue is really with the initial, double-action press. As TAM mentioned, there are some double-action only (DAO) guns like some Kahr pistols that may be more comfortable to you if you prefer a gun that uses the trigger to both cock and then fire the gun. These guns were designed from the outset to feature relatively light (for a double-action) trigger sometimes with relatively short (again for a double-action) travel. Beyond double-action triggers, there is a whole world of single-action only or striker fired pistols that may work for you as long as you can comfortably manipulate the slide. Generally, these will all feature relatively light (usually lighter than double-action) triggers with relatively short travel. I can only suggest trying out some common examples if/when you have an opportunity.
