I love the weight of the bull barrel as well. Keeps my follow up shots on target that much more.

Ah. Good points.

I appreciate the traditional 1911s as well which is one of the reasons I have the S.A. Mil Spec 1911 in stainless steel. However, there is something to be said for the modern look and custom features of the Emissary. It reminds me of something from a Terminator movie or a G.I. Joe cartoon. The...

I have the Emissary and I love it. I've never shot the TRP but I'm sure it's great too. The main difference I notice between these two is that the TRP doesn't have a pic rail (but I believe the Operator version does) and the Emissary doesn't have an ambi-safety. I'd take the pic rail over the...

Yeah. I understand that. My Prodigy is just for fun and a range gun and my Hellcat Pro would be my carry gun if I ever decide to. I have me CCW but I never really have the chance to carry because I'm always at work or somewhere where I feel I don't need it. It's nice to have the option though...

That's kind of what I'm thinking. If it ain't btoke then don't try to fix it, right ? Lol. To each his own, I guess.

I appreciate all your input. I'm still curious about what is wrong with the Wasp and Dragonfly performance wise. It's a shame if they're not good when I paid between 2-300 dollars for each one.

Everyone knocks the Hex Wasp and Dragonfly and I don't really see what's wrong with them. What's so great about all the other Red Dots out there ? I already have a Wasp for my Hellcat which I'll admit has had some battery issues and a Dragonfly for my Prodigy and I don't have any problems with...

For what it's worth, I just wanted to let people know about my experience with the 5" Prodigy. I put my 1000th plus round through mine yesterday and it runs really smooth now. Through the first 500 or so with the original 9 lb. spring right out of the box it had a lot of hiccups- failures to...

Nice !!! I just put abother 250+ rounds through my 5" and it seems a lot better after putting a 12 lb. recoil spring in mine as well. I also sanded down the feed lips on the 17 rounder. Only 2 or 3 failures to eject and all of them were with Winchester 100 round Value Pack target ammo 115 grain...

That looks nice. I'll start with the 12 lb. spring I have ready to go and sand the feed lips of my 17 round mag and see how that goes. My 20 rounder got through 80 rounds with not 1 hiccup the other afternoon and this is all after 5-600 rounds so I feel like I am getting somewhere. Had 1 ftf...

Sounds good, thank you.

Just to chime in again on this subject, I am at about 5-600 rounds deep into my 5"Prodigy and am still confused on what's making the slide stick, not chamber, and sometimes not eject a spent round. I went through 4 (20) round mags just fine with no problems but the 17 round which does have some...

All of this sounds like great advice on things you can do to remedy all of the hang up issues of the Prodigy that seem to be pretty widespread based on all the You Tube videos, online posts, and my own experience through 375 rounds. Has Springfield Armory announced any official word on what...

Thanks BassBob ! I've heard this from other guys too and I agree with your philosophy on carry vs. range gun or having a range gun become a carry gun. The Prodigy at this point, luckily would not be my carry gun or even my home defense gun nor had I planned it to be. I guess I got lucky with my...

Well, if it's any consolation, I just finished putting about 375 rounds through my 5" this morning and it still had quite a few jams or failures to load or chamber (whatever you want to call it) BUT, more and more mags went through with no hiccups (both the 17 and 20) so maybe and hopefully it...

I've only been into guns a couple years myself but I have 2 other 1911 .45s from Springfield and they have no issues whatsoever. This DS business must be complicating things or like people are saying, Springfield was just anxious to ship these things out and didn't do enough quality control. I...

Thanks. Yes, I want to make it work and I'll just have to be patient. Luckily, I just got my Emisssary 5".45 and I freakin love that thing.

Yes, it's pretty frustrating. I have a S.A. 1911 Mil Spec (no issues), a Hellcat Pro (no issues), and an Emissary .45 (no issues) and love them all. You'd think for $1600 they could've gotten this perfect as the guys at the gun shop talked about. He said S.A. has been working on this since 2018...

I just put my 1st 100 rounds of Winchester 115 grain target ammo through my 5" prodigy yesterday and was pretty dissapointed. It had at least 4 or 5 failures to feed. I had maybe a clip or 2 with no problems out of 5 clips. When it shot, it shot great but I want to get rid of these hang ups...
