Dimension needed for SA Prodigy Compact 3.5

Would someone be able to provide me with the dimension from the outside of the trigger guard to the center of the front most slot/notch on the picatinny rail? My gun is with SA for a few weeks and I wanted to research a few light and laser options for it. Just want to make sure the light will mate to the frame. Thank you. Tony
 
Streamlight TLR-7a is a decent choice in my opinion.
I checked the SA site for a dimensions diagram but no luck.
Best bet may be go to your lgs and take measurements on the display item, if they have one.
Or, call SA and ask if a dinensions diagram is available.
That’s all i got.
 
One more thought. Try this website. Search for your prodigy (this shows the ds compact) and if you scroll down you see all sorts of angles of the gun next to rulers.

Pulled the image of the Prodigy Compact into a photo markup app and came up with this. It's not as good as a fully dimensioned sketch but it might do.

Thanks again.

@mikep Mike, The gun would not cycle. The round would be stripped from the mag but not enter the chamber. Right out of the box. Brand new gun. Frustrating to say the least .
 
@mikep The gun came back today. The work performed was tuned extractor and polished the bottom of the slide. When I stepped outside to run a few rounds through it, the gun performed well. While I wasn’t thrilled that I had to send a new pistol back for service they did return it to me much faster than was quoted by the customer service rep - which was four weeks. Also, everything I packaged up and sent to them came back. I just thought you might want to know how everything panned out. Regards.
 
My first Prodigy was the 5" AOS. production date late 2023ish. Too many issues to list. Spent more time at the Mother Ship for warranty than it did in my hands.
Eventually was sent a replacement from SA.
Prodigy 5" Comp model production date May 2024. The only issue with the new pistol was that the AOS plate would get loose at plate to slide connection. That was easily remedied by switching from blue loctite to vibratite vc3. The gun has 2500 rounds since new with ZERO ftf or fte. It is a great shooter and a great time at the range. Do I have what I think are better guns, yes. Do I hate the Prodigy, no. Prodigy has come a long way, but I think it has a little more to go to live up to the Springfield badge.
One man's opinion.
 
It just feels like SA rushed this to market. I certainly understand that you can only put so much R&D and testing into a product before it has to stand on its own but releasing a product too early and passing problems onto the consumer is ill advised. It just that going forward there will be a little voice in my head telling me to be wary of reliability, which is especially problematic because I was thinking of carrying it. Perhaps after 500 to 1000 rounds of problem free operation I'll be able to trust her again. Regards.
