How do we define popularity? Gun writers writing articles? Types of firearms seen at the range/compeiotions? Firearms seen for sale?

Well, I don't pay much attention to gun writers, don't go to ranges - I go out in the desert - and I don't participate in formal, organized competitions, but I do make the rounds, weekly, to area LGS and pawn shops.

In the almost 25 years that I've been doing my weekly rounds, I've only seen a handful of 9mm 1911s for sale new and used. I've seen very, very few used and even, less new. This includes local gun shows. If 9mm 1911s are popular, it must be a regional thing. From what I've seen, they sure aren't popular in the ABQ NM area - although 10mm and 38 Super don't last long when they show up.
