I may be showing my ignorance here but you always hear about 1911's and 1911 clones. Many semi autos look alike, but what does it have to be or have to constitute a 1911 style? What is the original 1911 and what does it stand for? Thanks 
Whats the story of 1911's

Clones, of course, are all of the guns made by other manufacturers following the same basic blueprints as the original.

Well, to answer that question I would say to go waaaayyy back to the turn of the century and see what Mr. Browning was up to at that time. He made some revolutionary designs that were incorporated into the M1911.
