I know what you mean about a 9mm 'sized' 1911. The EMp was a good start, but I'd like to see smaller frame in the same proportions as a 5" 1911, or even a 4". In a frame and slide designed for a .45, there is no need for the extra mass in a 9mm version.
supposedly Llama made such a 9mm gun once, but I have yet to find one. For what it's worth, the Llama .380s made in the 1940s were a true scaled-down 1911, as well-made as any Colt of the same era.
