When I’m at the range by myself.. I’ll shoot my Staccato 70%, Prodigy 20% and Rival S 10%. Frankly, I typically just bring the Staccato and Rival To the range and still shoot the Staccato much more often. I have 1200 to 1400 through it.. well over 6K rounds through my Prodigy and roughly the 2K...

Funny, you went reverse of how I did. I went prodigy 4.25 first. It sucked. Sent it in to SA for warranty, back very quickly, it’s been an ammo eating, accurate great shooting pistol since. At 2500ish rounds, I put an EGW kit in it. Really cleaned up the trigger. Couple months ago, I went...

I haven't had my plate off in a while... But loctite drip down.? I'd think too long of screws would be Everytime

Yes, there is no rules/regulations for this. Around here, at some places, if the party is 6 or more, it’s typically 15 to 18% gratuity added. Here’s the key.. If I get a good server, who mentions…gratuity is already added.. I’ll still add a few bucks on top of that. One, I appreciate good...

Can’t speak for other that Michigan…but I’m sure others are similar/same. If tipped wages plus tip credit wage (Was less than minimum) don’t equal at least minimum wage, the employer has to make up the difference. Rarely, does this happen. If it does, its a sign of either…very, very slow night...

Frankly, you’re better off tipping credit card. Traceable. Wait staff can be crooks too. When I used to run reports on wages…tips left on credit cards were always in the 20% range. Cash tips are 8%. Does that mean charge card users are better tippers? No. It just means they don’t report their...

For good service, I tip pretty much anywhere. I’ve been in the restaurant business for over 30 years. For tip credit employees (Waitstaff earning less than minimum wage) I tip well for good service, really well for excellent service. Most places tip pool, in other words that server shares...

Sorry boys, wrong forum, wrong thread… LOL… That’s on me. Agree, it should come with a two piece that doesn’t require a tool. I will go one step further… I really like the Atlas tool less guide rod. I know some have reported issues with it..from what I recall is was mostly with hotter ammo and...

It’s not… my comment was in comparison to a tool less… :)

true, but neither are MIM internals compared to forged/machined. yet…here we are.

What...are we moving onto micro analysis of guide rod snobbery? LOL Factory two piece is just cheaper and less moving parts. I never had an issue with mine loosening up.. I did have an issue remembering to tighten it down… lol.

Be prepared to do some grinding on that Vortex. Even though the footprint matches the included plate, the body is a hair long. Had to file the front of mine, others have as well. Good shooting!

I’m a bit of a trigger snob so I’m told. And no…I’ve never shot a high end 1911 to be clear. I’ve shot plenty of other pistols, hammer and striker fired. Mostly striker fired until December when I got my Prodigy and a month plus ago when I got my Staccato. For triggers…my list. 4 range/target...

My list looked similar to yours, my serial is 22xxx, they replaced my sear spring and adjusted tension on the extractor. I too think the chamber depth (Reaming) is a big cause of the issues with these. Well over 5K though mine, probably approaching 6K now. I did replace the recoil spring...

Well done. Followed a similar path, I just skipped the Tisas. I agree, I’ve handled a few at my LGS…they are actually nice pistols especially considering the price point, they had better aesthetics and better build quality than several big name company pistols at a much hither price point.

Looking forward to how you like it. My Prodigy out of the box came in…if I remember…between 4.5 and 5lbs. From what I read, the DTS goes 3.75 to 4#. I’ve yet to see that EGW out of stock. The kit with the 17# mainspring was out of stock, I simply bought the kit then added a 17# mainspring for...

I used to think the same thing. Until I did it. Within 20 to 30 minutes an a youtube video or two, you could do the whole EGW kit. With the sear spring adjustment, another video, a very good one from Atlas on how to adjust and what to look for…you could do that one too… even show you how to to...

I just put about 100 to 150 rounds through my Prodigy with a new Atlas tool less guide rod. I’ve read other posts about having issues with it.. it seems to be with +p or hotter ammo. I shoot 124gr reloads with a PF of 130…. Zero issues, and it sure was damn nice to break down and wipe down when...

Don’t take this as snarky… I’m curious how that compares to a half price EGW ignition upgrade kit. I also wonder if it’ll let you drop the trigger pull poundage or if it’s set. As is, it claims 3.75 to 4lbs after break in. With EGW kit mine is sub 2.5#, crisp and clean. Everything I put in...

I went EGW kit, 17lb main spring. Stock pin spring. Stock recoil assembly and recoil. Atlas tool less guide rod on the way. Reliable, clean, Sub 2.5LB trigger break. Great upgrade. I feel no need to do anything more… for now…LOL. I wouldn’t mind a medium length flat Altas trigger...
