    Prodigy DS - Aftermarket Thread

    I did. My trigger pull tests consistently in the 2lb range. With a Wheeler digital gauge. This is a lot less than what Nighthawk advertises, but consistent with posts I’ve read with claims of 50% reduction in trigger pull. I can’t discount the possibility that I could just be using the gauge in...

    Sellier & Bellot Ammo

    Put another 200rods through Prodigy today since getting it back from Springfield. No ftf but did have 2 light primer strikes. All 200rds was S&B 124 FMJ. Wondering if this could be an ammo issue. I saw some old posts about people having similar issues with S&B but the latest (that I saw) was...

    Double Stack Fever

    “…I think you’re chasing an ideal rather than an actual gun….” You’re on to something. Looking for the perfect pistol for me. I’ve had SAO’s, DAO, DA/SA etc. There always seems to be a trade off. Once I discovered the double stack 1911, I knew I found the platform. Now I just want the best gun...

    Double Stack Fever

    Sorry I wasn’t clear. Not saying the Staccato and Bul Armory are priced lower than the Prodigy. What I mean is that the Prodigy, Bul Armory and Staccato ($1,600 -$2,500 or so) are lower priced pistols compared to Atlas, Chambers, etc (above $5k)

    Double Stack Fever

    I love the double stack platform! Best option (for me) in terms of ergonomics, trigger and capacity. I now have my Prodigy 4.25“ with some mods done but still have less than 500 rounds down range. I wonder how much better (if at all) some of the other “lower priced“ pistols are. I’m particularly...

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    Sent the TLR-1 back. Going to get a Surefire X-300. I have mixed feelings. I know it’s a great light, but it seems a bit long for the 4.25” model.

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    @dajogejr, I like the idea of the single sided safety. Any thoughts on whose is a “drop-in“ part or close to it? Which Staccato do you have and how do the Prodigy and Staccato compare?

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    The first failure was a Federal American Eagle 147gr flat nose. The second failure would have been either S&B 124gr or Winchester 124gr NATO. I have a lot more shooting to do to see how things work out. I have collected about a thousand rounds of various brands and types of ammo 115, 124, 138...

    DS Prodigy Thumb Safety Removal

    Springfield had it for a month I’m used to waiting. It’ll be easy to tell yours from mine. Mine will be the one that’s marred up from my home gunsmithing work … it’s a good thing I don’t do it for a living. I’d be on the street.

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    First range trip since getting the gun back from Springfield. Very happy so far. Trigger pull was A hair over 3.5lbs. I should add that before I went I changed the mainspring to a 17lb., added an extra power firing pin spring, installed an Atlas tool less guide rod and kept the 12lb recoil...

    Prodigy 4.25" Rail size

    I know this is an old post, but MontanaDan, how did you get the TLR-1 to fit on the 4.25” Prodigy? I took mine to the range and their armorer couldn’t even get it to work trying multiple different keys.

    DS Prodigy Thumb Safety Removal

    First gun! Hell, you’d think this is the the first time using my new hands! Tried both keys. Took it with me to the range today. The armorer on duty couldn’t get it on either. Interestingly they had a 5” Prodigy in their rental case and it went right on. The Armorer had a Surefire x-300 on his...
