1911 DS Prodigy

Aren't there a couple of DS 45's? Like a RI? Maybe that's a 10mm...probably would have a grip bigger than a Beretta 92FS (that's the biggest pistol grip I've fondled to date).
 
I think it’s only a matter of time before SA releases a Prodigy in 45. For now, no.
9mm was an easy in for the double stack 1911 crowd.
My best guess…you’ll see a .45 variant next, possibly even the 10mm. Just my guess.

Never know. Look how long the Shield Plus has been out and S&W hasn't seen fit to put one out in .45 ACP.

From what I understand, the 2011 platform is really optimized for 9mm. Doesn’t mean it couldn’t happen, but I suspect SA will want to get the Prodigy rock solid before introducing another variant.

True that. Not that they’re not out there, but… I don’t see any high end or other gun makers with a .45ACP double stack offering.

From an operational perspective, I agree… I think the 9mm is the perfect platform for it.
From a marketing perspective… invaluable. True double stack .45 ACP on an affordable platform.

Also, totally agree, lots of teeth cutting on this one… they have some work to do to cut down issues, improve reliability and keep it at/near the same cost to fill the bang for the buck price-point it currently sits at.
 
Can I get a Prodigy in a 45 APC I'm new I'm sure that question as been asked I'm a 45 guy and a master uspa shooter and 76 years old can't run fast but still can shoot! don
As others have said the Prodigy is 9MM only. 45ACP double stack pistols are a rarity as 9mm is the most popular handgun caliber today. I'm certain that SA will eventually expand on their Prodigy line, so who knows what the future offerings may be.

I know it's not a 1911 or a 2011 style, but have you looked at the FN FNX45? It's a double stack polymer pistol with controls similar to a 1911/2011 platform and offers 15 rounds and it's hammer fired. It's been around for a while and has an excellent reputation.

Or if striker fired pistols are OK with you. FN recently came out with a 45 ACP double stack, the FN 545 which is getting really good reviews.

Good luck with your search.
 
Rob Leatham gave an interview not long after the Prodigy was launched & stated it would be coming in 45acp & 10mm. He commented that the magazine tubes were designed to fit the larger rounds. As far as other manufacturers making 45acp 2011s, you have Triarc, Infinity, Cosaint, EAA & a few others.

I would be all over a Prodigy in 45acp! Threaded barrel would be a bonus! Come on Springfield, bring it to market!

SA used to make a widebody 1911 in .45.

Rock Island Armory still does, and runs great, as well.

I had a couple of Paras & a Wilson Combat based on a Para frame. SA used the Para frame back in the day on their old widebody. Les Baer & a couple of other also made limited models using those frames. Rock Island uses the Para design. Sometimes I do like the weight of all steel design, but ever since I got my first STI, I let the others go.

Yeah, I’m in the process of moving my custom P14.45 Limited…great pistol, but I’m moving away from .45.
