    Update: prodigy issues

    I think you've confused unsafe vs unreliable. Call SA. Don't wait for an email. It'll go quicker

    First Look: Springfield Armory Echelon 9mm

    Interested/Interesting… My initial thoughts, worth less than .02.. :) Sig… I wonder about potential lawsuits, because let’s face it, this is darn near a copy of the same idea. I realize…a patented idea only needs to be changed a small percentage… but if there’s one thing we know for certain...

    cocaine found in the white house.

    From what I’ve read, the powder was found in the West Wing. Tours don’t go through there…

    New Prodigy

    RLB… after 1000 to 1500 rounds, I noticed the slide action was much smoother. At/around 2500ish, I put EGW ignition in. My Prodigy has just over 5K through it, I replaced the recoil spring just for maintenance, no other issues. I’ve not noticed any looseness or other issues with mine. My only...

    New Prodigy

    Yep.. Got north of 6 to 7K rounds through my X5. I honestly treat it like a Glock. If I think about cleaning it… I forget about it… after about 3-5 trips to the range, I’ll wipe it down, give it a few dabs of grease…and run it some more. I maintain my Prodigy, Staccato, and Canik a little...

    New Prodigy

    I have north of 6K rounds through my Prodigy…I’m not seeing the ”loose” fit on mine. Granted, it’s a 4.25 commander… I’ll admit that my Staccato P is my go to for everything, but I’m not throwing shade on my Prodigy. It got me into the 2011 market, despite some thoughts of selling it to pickup...

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    That was the identical path I was going to take. But frankly, the Prodigy just shoots well. I’ll pick up a C2 eventually to replace my 320X Compact…but no hurry.

    I have two P320s (X compact and X5 Legion) Prodigy, Canik Rival S and My Staccato P. All fine pistols, but none are going anywhere. If you need the cash to make a purchase, I hear ya. But unless I have a pistol just sitting there collecting dust that never gets used, I try to keep mine.

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    I’m looking at Wilson Combat wide for both my 2011s. Saw pics on 1911Addicts on a CS and C model staccato from another member. I have the Staccato P 4.4” aluminum. Both are fine pistols. Fit, finish overall on the Staccato is much, much better. Price tag worth it? To me, yes. Depending on...

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    @Mgar64, pure curiousity, what kind of ammo you running through it? With similar work to mine, but no DTS, all EGW internals, I’ve got north of 3K rounds without a single issue, including 400 to 500 round with Staccato mags. Only issues I’ve had were shooter induced, not locking back on last...

    Prodigy Questions -

    When I’m at the range by myself.. I’ll shoot my Staccato 70%, Prodigy 20% and Rival S 10%. Frankly, I typically just bring the Staccato and Rival To the range and still shoot the Staccato much more often. I have 1200 to 1400 through it.. well over 6K rounds through my Prodigy and roughly the 2K...

    Prodigy Questions -

    Funny, you went reverse of how I did. I went prodigy 4.25 first. It sucked. Sent it in to SA for warranty, back very quickly, it’s been an ammo eating, accurate great shooting pistol since. At 2500ish rounds, I put an EGW kit in it. Really cleaned up the trigger. Couple months ago, I went...

    Are you a fair tipper?

    Yes, there is no rules/regulations for this. Around here, at some places, if the party is 6 or more, it’s typically 15 to 18% gratuity added. Here’s the key.. If I get a good server, who mentions…gratuity is already added.. I’ll still add a few bucks on top of that. One, I appreciate good...

    Are you a fair tipper?

    Can’t speak for other that Michigan…but I’m sure others are similar/same. If tipped wages plus tip credit wage (Was less than minimum) don’t equal at least minimum wage, the employer has to make up the difference. Rarely, does this happen. If it does, its a sign of either…very, very slow night...

    Are you a fair tipper?

    Frankly, you’re better off tipping credit card. Traceable. Wait staff can be crooks too. When I used to run reports on wages…tips left on credit cards were always in the 20% range. Cash tips are 8%. Does that mean charge card users are better tippers? No. It just means they don’t report their...

    Are you a fair tipper?

    For good service, I tip pretty much anywhere. I’ve been in the restaurant business for over 30 years. For tip credit employees (Waitstaff earning less than minimum wage) I tip well for good service, really well for excellent service. Most places tip pool, in other words that server shares...

    Sorry boys, wrong forum, wrong thread… LOL… That’s on me. Agree, it should come with a two piece that doesn’t require a tool. I will go one step further… I really like the Atlas tool less guide rod. I know some have reported issues with it..from what I recall is was mostly with hotter ammo and...
