I think we can all agree that self defense laws are absurdly grey areas. State to state your life value is either greater or lesser than a criminals....sick stuff. You should be able to defend whats yours. Period. Your life, family, friends, property.

Im curious if any of these damage marks and the screw could of happened during shipping? Me, being a logical thinker would have to think no one in their right mind would let it leave the repair shop like this. Any sane person like yourself would do what you did and send it right back. That just...

I like using my CC because they literally pay me to use it. If you are good with money, not only can you build credit but you get cash back. Now don't use a CC if you cant make the payments obviously.

Ive been under the recent understanding that most large, reputable manufactures firearms are pressure tested/made for several times over the typical SAAMI spec ammo pressures. Now I agree that's not safe to just assume in a general , but it makes sense to me.

Ahhh, cleaning your firearms is like paying your bar tab. You know you really should, but youll just do it next time.

This is why its so important to instill gun safety and proper care into the youth. It sticks with them, and many of us are prime examples. A firm respect for firearms goes so far. Welcome to the forum, I imagine your firearms are much cleaner than mine :LOL:

Sure I mean, I'm not without imagination and could think of a few reasons as well. Just in general for me. Want a screw around cheap thing? I'd get something polymer like old XD's, Taurus, or Glock. 1911's (for me at least) are works of craftsmanship. and I like to imagine that the more I pay...

I mean I don't see anything wrong with it for a dirt cheap 1911. But I question why would anyone want a cheap 1911. Not the type of firearm to skimp on IMO.

Thanks for all the info, had I read the article correctly I would have found a link to the article that explains it all. Oh well. Here it is for anyone else having questions. https://www.gunsamerica.com/digest/cmp-1911s-yes-theyre-real-heres-how-to-buy-one/

Yeah that's what I was able to gather from skimming the website, I guess I am just curious where they are coming from and why the long strange process that seems competitive from their verbiage.

I dont understand what this is? Are these surplus?

As always, excellent report. Enjoy your day of celebration. I hope this next journey around the sun is even better!

As a fan of both plastic and ancient metal guns, 1911's have their pro's and con's. I love shooting them. I would just say they are not "beginner" guns. They require a little bit of shooting know how to get the best performance out of (double goes for 2011's). They are harder to take apart...

Ah jeez, a .22 revolver is on my long list of firearms to get. These post dont help my wallet! Good looking piece.

That would make you and alot of others happy. Heres hoping its in the works.

Im not trying to start anything. I believe youre having issues with it. I'm just getting down to what you really are trying to say here. Im not trying to attack you but either did you get a lemon or do you think Springfield is up to no good or even incompetent?

Thats fair, but rudimentary. I just am getting a sense of the internet doing what it does best and blowing things out of proportion. One guy leads to 10 worrying and so on. If there is actually a mass issue, we will see, and ill be sad.

Sounds like quite the pessimistic point of view. If you are suggesting that 90% of Prodigy's are purposefully sent out junk, and Springfield is paying people to lie, I guess we got different opinions of the company. Perhaps I'm just optimistic because I am looking forward to my purchase, but...

I think we also need to define whats a problematic launch. 50 people with issues? 100? 1,000? 5,000? Half? 90%? We only hear from a limited sample. People who A. use forums. B. Have issues. C. Post. All the rest we hear nothing from.

We can dream! Would be prime.
