Three foreign pistols cuing new direction?

There is a striking ergonomic similarity between three quality European pistols; the Russian Kalashnikov Concern's PL-14, the Austrian Steyr Mannlicher L9-A1 and the Italian Pardini GT9. Grip angle, low bore axis, heavy front end and barrel length all bear striking resemblance but there is little evidence to suggest one was purloined from another. Considering the notable sources of these three pistols it appears that each firearm was formed as an original by their respective designers to squeeze the maximum potential out of a handheld device not normally considered optimal for tack driving. Obviously in this day and age of internet accessibility there's no such thing as a information vacuum, but considering the genetic heritage of each design it's clear each was crafted via careful consideration of every feature geared toward building a highly ergonomic and point-able handgun. Though the Kalashnikov is still in testing, both the Steyr and the Pardini have proven themselves in the field and in competition to be marksman's pistols with fast deployability, outstanding triggers and intrinsic accuracy. Now I'd never condone copying a good idea, but certainly it would behoove an American manufacturer to take direct inspiration from these three outstanding weapons and build an American variant, of polymer and steel, with the best of the three's features, but with ready domestic availablity and a good price. I still think an American needs to trump these (and other ubiquitous) European marques and create the next big thing in a striker-fired pistol. The 1911 was near perfect at it's birth and it has been honed better in recent years via countless tactical improvements, but this new century needs a new American pistol to lead the pack. Any takers? Ed.
