Looking for a non-polymer subcompact single stack 9mm similar in size to the Kahr K9 or S&W 3913. The Kahr K9 is at the top of the list. I'm familiar with S&W 39 (3913, 3914, 3906). What are my other options?
Single stack 9mm

Kahr T9, Kimber has some models.
The evolution of the 39 - 39-2 - 639 - 3913 was eventually the CS-9, or "Chief's Special", an alloy frame subcompact even smaller than the 3913. Now long out of production, they were made from 1999-2006 according to the SCSW4.
I think the Boberg is the smallest there is.
Now being manufactured as the Bond Arms Bullpup
The short barreled version pictured above has a 3.35" long barrel. That makes it much smaller than the K9 or 3913
The Long slide version pictured below with it's 4.2" barrel is not currently in production with Bond Arms. You would have to track down an older Boberg manufactured version if you wanted one
These are metal framed auto loaders wearing plastic grip. The small one on top weighs in at 17.4 ounces empty.

My favorite is the S&W M-39. Very handy an accurate. I still take mine out to the range once in a while. I shoot it better than my newer double stack polymer guns (for 9 shots).

How about the beretta cheetah? I just got one 
last week !
Yes it’s a double stack but I haven’t got a model 85 (yet)

The Berretta M1951's are cheap.

I believe the Beretta Cheetah is .380 ACP (and .32 ACP & .22LR). SIG P225/P6 and P239 are nice pistols (and I’ve got both).

For quality and dependability and the size you’re looking for I would forego the single stack prerequisite and look at a CZ 2075 Rami.
All steel, and pretty hard to beat IMHO.
Of course you could always go with the Smith & Wesson Performance Center Model 986...

The Star BM is like a mini 1911 in 9 mm Luger/ parabellium. The smaller pistol I know of to me is the cz50 or cz70 in 32acp. Are you looking for a small carry or a ankle holstered backup? Another small pistol is the cz82’s/83 in 9 mm mak. There is a cz83 in 380acp. I like the double action first shot on the cz pistols.

For a smaller revolver there’s a H&R 22 lr.

Love me some CZ82. You can still find ammo for it too.

Sig Sauer P239. Excellent pistols. Now discontinued, but readily available on the used market. And well worth hunting one down. 
Here's mine on the bottom right, with a few friends.

I think the cz pistols are overlooked. The cz82’s/83 have the same quality as the cz75. I thought the 9 mm mak ammo would have way less power but it barks loud too.
