There are just so many options these days, you really need to think about what specifically you are looking for in a carry gun. The pros and cons and what matters most to you.
As others have mentioned, "mid-sized" has a ton of actual size variations depending on what each person thinks it means. With so many options even from the same manufacturer in the same line of pistols. Take glock for example. You have the 17, 19, 19x/45, 26, 43x, 43. What's midsized, anything smaller than the 17? Even the G43 is bigger than some other companies subcompacts.
And the small carry pistols like the Sig 365 and Springfield Hellcat, etc, that companies are making today are way better than the comparable sized pistols of just 5 years ago. So if you try some out, you may find you are interested in a smaller pistol then you previously thought.
It's a tough decision with so many options. I agree with the others, give some a try first. My sole recommendation is that whatever you get, make sure it's something you WILL carry. It's no good if you leave it at home. It's no good even if it's something you occasionally think, well, not today, it's too inconvenient. So unless you have another gun you WILL carry in a situation where size (or lack of) is important, don't get something too big.
