    A positive Prodigy thread.

    My stories mimic others here. Yep, I knew the risk buying it…turned out I was right. Zero cost, less than 10 Days later…flawless over 5K rounds since. EGW ignition and 17# mainspring in mine after 2500ish rounds. It is no Staccato, I recently purchased one and really, really love it. but the...

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    I’m waiting to see that Girsan 2311 as well, shot show video said 999 price tag. Optic ready. I believe it will take the common 2011 mags, I hope so.

    Optic plate price

    I was able to pick one up for my “wife’s” prodigy for a little less from Carolina Caliber… It was 99 plus S&H and tax… Picked Up a DPP plate. Anyone need/want an RMR/Holosun plate? LOL

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    Here’s what I’ll say about the Prodigy vs. a Staccato that I now own. If you can afford the Staccato, get it. Fit, finish, accuracy, quality of parts, it is better across the board. However… My Prodigy was my first 1911/2011 style pistol I ever owned, always been striker fired prior. It is an...

    All due respect RLB, the OP was September 1, 2022 and a SA contributor… LOL. But yes, I hear you… as it pertains to the question asked in the most recent posts in this thread… Just had to send a little Friday ribbing your way. True, Post 666 (yeah…that may be a sign) asked about it and said no...

    Frankly, I’m looking forward to the 2311 Girsan/EAA. At their price point…999 MSRP…even more enticing for an entry level DS type.

    Yes. My advice, based on your questions and prequalifiers, as well as owning a Prodigy first then recently a Staccato P… get a Prodigy Commander (4.25” barrel). From what I’ve read, so take that as you may, the 5” seem to have more issues than the little brother. I got mine December, long story...

    1911 DS magwell

    The only thing I can think of is take a sharpie where the overlap is, Dremel/grind until the sharpie is gone. But I gotta be honest, I’m not a competitive shooter (Probably gonna hit a few comps this year) and even if I was, don’t know if I’d ever get to the level where I could tell/need the...

    1911 DS magwell

    Another Member of the Staccato Gen 2 on my Prodigy. Soft mallet, a few tap…all set. No grind, no file. I have large hands, I’m not a comp shooter, gamer, etc. I just like the positive feel at the base of my hand with a mag well.

    Prodigy 5in w/HEX Dragonfly

    Thom A14B. If you use the drop down it’ll tell you RMR and 407c footprint. But just an FYI… 407c and 507C both use them popular RMR footprint. Between RMR and DPP, they’re the most common used. https://store.springfield-armory.com/agency-optic-system-aos-mounting-plate-prodigy/

    Mine was very, very tight as well. Back end in first, tap with a rubber mallet. My mag well is a Staccato gen 2. It was very, very tight, but…with a rubber mallet it popped on. I have the same A14 plate on mine w/ a 507c. Mine didn’t drop or plunk in either. I finagled it and tapped it with a...

    Prodigy makes most unreliable list

    Yeah, heard. I’m torn between a P, a C2 and getting that cam and Dyno tune for my Harley.. LOL. I was originally leaning towards the P. But, the C2 would probably make it into my EDC routine, whereas the P…just target/range. And I already have my prodigy, X5 and Canik that fit that bill...

    Prodigy makes most unreliable list

    I do gotta say…more surprising than the prodigy is the P320. I’ve had 3, down to 2…an X5 legion and a 320X Compact and they’ve been amazing. My x5 had a few FTE in the first couple hundred rounds, probably close to 5K later, no issues. My 320X compact, 1000 rounds, zero issues, not even taking...

    Prodigy makes most unreliable list

    I think that’s beyond fair. I also like his transparency of how/where he acquired the gun. But, I’ll stand by this as well. Yes, plenty of problems out there that are noted. However, you hardly see all the pistols that operated fine from day one that were not handpicked for YouTubers…. And...

    Prodigy makes most unreliable list

    I like honest outlaw reviews, and I agree with him for the most part. what could be a dislike for him…maybe not others, but that being said, i think it’s pretty well documented the growing pains of the pistol. I went through it too… and I actually have a 22K serial number. Less than 10 day...

    Good reason not the tailgate!

    Saw this earlier… I commented…that’s my luck. After going airborne, rolling, coming back down…then tagged in the back by a tire… just a little icing on the cake. Glad everyone is ok…

    And…call Springfield ahead of time, tell them it “did” fall out….so you have the spares and aren’t looking for some fiber :)

    Range/outdoors with light. Honestly, with blacked out rear and a fiber only front, they’re tough to see. IMO…if carry is your choice and low light is involved, night sites are better, or at least a tritium based front blade. To each their own However.

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    Agreed. I owned two of them, sold one…still have the other. Canik Rival S and S&W Competitor (sold the latter) I too get…cost of materials, labor, etc. But more than double? C’mon. I also get…the plate includes the blacked out rear sight…but still, double? Glad I got in while I did, but… I’ve...
