That is good to know ! Thank you .. just started shooting as of February of this year so getting my feet wet on a couple different platforms so any knowledge i can get i soak it all in and continue learning at this time in my journey nothing is “ obvious “ yet lol . So i appreciate your input

Great to know ! Yes it had an empty mag inserted . I’ve been reading a few horror stories about this Prodigy and you confirmed what i was reading about it needs to be broken in to perform well so I’ll be racking the slide like crazy the next few days while cleaning / lubing in between before i...

I just recently purchased the 5 inch Prodigy Comp as my first 1911 and noticed when i rack the slide back it automatically locks the slide ? Is that normal for a Prodigy or all 1911’s ? I have to hit the slide release for it to go back . I also own the Hellcat Pro and 4.5F Echelon Comp and with...

Thank you for that reply . I will be new to the 2011’s . Only been shooting striker fired . I’ve been reading 2011’s need to be cleaned/lubed more often ? As of now i normally clean/lube my guns after 300-500 rounds . Would that still be ok for a 2011 ? Or should it be more like after 100-200...

Anybody own this gun? And how do you feel about it ? I want to own a 1911 DS and this caught my eye , but the more reviews i read on it the more issues i see people had with it ( failures to feed and slide getting stuck mainly) , but then i hear that it was the first batch released having issues...

I’m getting an Apex trigger installed on my HCP OSP as we speak just dropped it off at the gunsmith will let you know in about a week or two if it made a difference . Majority of the reviews i read pointed towards Apex being the best go to trigger replacement for the HC and HCP.. we’ll see !

I live in California ☹️ and we do not have the Hellcat Pro Comp on our roster . I was thinking of upgrading my current HCP with the Apex ported barrel and slide . Has anybody purchased this ? How do you like it ? Also thought about sending my HCP to Floyd’s for a custom port barrel and slide ...

I bought the Hellcat Pro as my first gun back in January of this year to shoot as a hobby to keep busy.. i don’t carry it ( yet ) just to the range for practice and back home and in the safe . I liked shooting it and then i wanted to also get a full size gun so i purchased The Echelon 4.5F comp...

Has anybody had one of these installed ? If so is it that much better than the original trigger ? I’m still fairly new to shooting and the original trigger feels ok i guess but i don’t have much experience to really know what a “ good “ trigger pull feels like if you know what i mean . Through...

I did not purchase through that website but got lucky and found out about a family transfer for guns that are not on the California roster . My son lives in Arizona where he was able to purchase me the 4.5F Comp Echelon and have it sent to me as a gift through an FFL Dealer in my area . Seamless...

Thanks everybody for the much needed insight and knowledge on this matter ..I’ll be headed to the range today to dial it in real time and see what i come up with

Love my 4.5F Echelon Comp .. such a sweet shooter .. headed to the range tomorrow morning for some practice with it and the Hellcat Pro

I’m using a bore sight laser.. i was advised to zero at 15 yards so when i insert the laser ..stand 15 yards away in my home turn on the vortex i see two dots ( laser and vortex ) i was advised to move the turrets until the vortex dot lines up with the laser for a pretty good zero but when i...

I’m new to optics and recently mounted the Defender ST from Vortex on my Echelon but the Turret Adjustments don’t seem to work . No matter if i turn the dial up/down or left/right with the provided tool the dot remains in the same spot . Is it defective ? Or am i doing something wrong ? Any help...

Another 250 rounds thru it for a total of 500 rounds i got my baby a gift for being so reliable 🤣 ..back to the range we go this weekend so she can model her new outfit

That’s not a bad idea ! lol .. i only have about 250 rounds thru mine and already thinkin about customization 🤣 smh

Only customizing i seriously thought about doing to my Echelon is the Sharp Bros aluminum cherry grip .. that thing looks sweet !! just been waiting and hoping it goes on sale sometime lol

After cleaning your pistol should you wait a certain amount of time before firing again ? Couple hours ? 24 hours ? Or immediately after cleaning is ok ? Not sure if the recent cleaning can cause any hiccups when firing or any pistol should be good to go. Thanks in advance for any reply

Fairly new gun owner here . I have the Hellcat Pro and Echelon 4.5F Comp . Hellcat Pro probably has about 300 rounds through it and the Echelon about 200. I have yet to clean either gun and have been to the range about 4 times shooting a little over a 100 rounds each time . I always hear a rule...
