What handguns have a smooth action like an M9?

Question

I've had an M9 for years and its slowly getting worn out. I like the look and feel of glock's but I don't like the slide. In fact I have noticed 90% of actions on handguns are like this. I don't like barrels that aren't fixed (and even arc up when the slide goes back). I think this is one of the reasons the M9 is one of the most accurate handguns ever used in service. I know not everybody likes it. But its action is butter smooth. And I find it frustrating that when I go handgun shopping, the majority of handguns don't have this butter smooth feel to the action. Thoughts?
