I'm not a huge fan of 9mm in general, and I agree the 1911 is a bit oversized for the caliber. Springfield Armory's EMP's changed the game, IMO, when the entire gun's dimensions were "downsized" to better suit the 9mm cartridge. I have an EMP4 and absolutely love the gun. It's more than just a Commander-sized 1911 (or should I say 'less'?). It feels perfect in the hand and is the ideal size for 9mm.
