I've got a couple of Shure KSM9s, and I'm crazy about them. They can take high sound pressure levels really well.

I've heard of people hand-holding the SM7 before. I've tried this myself, I ended up wrapping the mounting bracket in a soft cloth so it wouldn't make noise against the body of the mic. If the singer doesn't mind the weight of the mic, that would probably be the way to go.
