A true "1911" is what Cane described...over the years the name has evolved to describe an entire sub-group of handgun models based on the original JMB design. Sorta like the PC, technically the only true PC was manufactured by IBM but an unlimited number of clones now own the market.

A 1911 would be the model of automatic pistol that Colt began manufacturing in 1911, designed by John Browning mostly by 1909. The 1911A1 featured a few changes in mainspring housing, grip safety, thumb safety, trigger and hammer spur.
Key features would be the detatchable barrel bushing, swinging link, single action trigger, grip safety, and additional thumb safety. The entire pistol as originally designed could be disassembled using only the parts of the pistol itself.
Fast forward and things have changed. Some manufacturers have utilized external extractors, done away with barrel bushings, made full length guide rods, ambidextrous safeties, beavertail grip safeties, dovetailed sights, extended and flared mag wells, etc, etc...

Exactly, 1911 seems to've become more of a concept than a tangible item.

Please do not confuse a "1911 pistol" with a "1911 pattern pistol".
It's easy to do.
