    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    What...are we moving onto micro analysis of guide rod snobbery? LOL Factory two piece is just cheaper and less moving parts. I never had an issue with mine loosening up.. I did have an issue remembering to tighten it down… lol.

    Prodigy vs RIA Pro Ultra (guest starring John Wick!)

    Be prepared to do some grinding on that Vortex. Even though the footprint matches the included plate, the body is a hair long. Had to file the front of mine, others have as well. Good shooting!

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    I’m a bit of a trigger snob so I’m told. And no…I’ve never shot a high end 1911 to be clear. I’ve shot plenty of other pistols, hammer and striker fired. Mostly striker fired until December when I got my Prodigy and a month plus ago when I got my Staccato. For triggers…my list. 4 range/target...

    Update: prodigy issues

    My list looked similar to yours, my serial is 22xxx, they replaced my sear spring and adjusted tension on the extractor. I too think the chamber depth (Reaming) is a big cause of the issues with these. Well over 5K though mine, probably approaching 6K now. I did replace the recoil spring...

    Prodigy DS - Aftermarket Thread

    Well done. Followed a similar path, I just skipped the Tisas. I agree, I’ve handled a few at my LGS…they are actually nice pistols especially considering the price point, they had better aesthetics and better build quality than several big name company pistols at a much hither price point.

    Prodigy DS - Aftermarket Thread

    Looking forward to how you like it. My Prodigy out of the box came in…if I remember…between 4.5 and 5lbs. From what I read, the DTS goes 3.75 to 4#. I’ve yet to see that EGW out of stock. The kit with the 17# mainspring was out of stock, I simply bought the kit then added a 17# mainspring for...

    Prodigy DS - Aftermarket Thread

    I used to think the same thing. Until I did it. Within 20 to 30 minutes an a youtube video or two, you could do the whole EGW kit. With the sear spring adjustment, another video, a very good one from Atlas on how to adjust and what to look for…you could do that one too… even show you how to to...

    Prodigy DS - Aftermarket Thread

    I just put about 100 to 150 rounds through my Prodigy with a new Atlas tool less guide rod. I’ve read other posts about having issues with it.. it seems to be with +p or hotter ammo. I shoot 124gr reloads with a PF of 130…. Zero issues, and it sure was damn nice to break down and wipe down when...

    Prodigy DS - Aftermarket Thread

    Don’t take this as snarky… I’m curious how that compares to a half price EGW ignition upgrade kit. I also wonder if it’ll let you drop the trigger pull poundage or if it’s set. As is, it claims 3.75 to 4lbs after break in. With EGW kit mine is sub 2.5#, crisp and clean. Everything I put in...

    Prodigy Upgrades

    I went EGW kit, 17lb main spring. Stock pin spring. Stock recoil assembly and recoil. Atlas tool less guide rod on the way. Reliable, clean, Sub 2.5LB trigger break. Great upgrade. I feel no need to do anything more… for now…LOL. I wouldn’t mind a medium length flat Altas trigger...

    Springfield Armory 1911DS Prodigy FF issues

    You’ll be good. I saw the repair order you posted up before taking it down (no doubt due to personal info on there, good call..) Mine got the same treatment plus a sear spring. Once I got north of 500 rounds, it really smoothed out the action. Action may feel a little gritty until the Cerakote...

    I'm a man of my word

    I’d agree KillerFord. My x5 has the Sig Armorer’s kit in it…it is the absolute best striker fired pistol I own or have ever shot. Between it and my Prodigy, 10K rounds easily. It just works…little to no maintenance either. Still love the 2011 platform

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    I really, really like the look of this, but… a lot of his Prodigy stuff sells…to the point of it’s out of stock, often. Good problem to have I guess…:)

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    I sent my magazines in with the pistol when I RMA’s mine. They checked them all.. and other than a couple of weeks ago…they were flawless. I took each apart, cleaned them, and all is well again. If you think the mags are a problem, send them in with it is my advice.

    Agreed. And I think the EGW takes a paper clip/staple.. which, is not tool less IMO :). Better than a 2 piece, yes.

    I’m no lawyer…and others may know more. But I **Think** as Long as the RMA label is from a licensed FFL you’re good. My answer would be warranty return for a firearm. If they give you hassle, go to the dealer. The FedEx I used didn’t even question.

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    I found a FedEx that accepts dangerous goods…they don’t all take firearms, at least not in Metro Detroit. Boxed it, handed it to them…shipped off with the RMA label. @SimonRL, I have a 4.25 Prodigy. I have that same dawson in my Staccato, I don’t see the same for the 4.25 Prodigy. I just got...

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    Yep, just ordered up an Atlas one piece. I don’t like the idea of a paperclip or staple, it looks like the Atlas (Possibly the Dawson too…) doesn’t need anything and it’s made very similar to the Dawson in my Staccato. The prodigy 2 piece didn’t really bother me too much…until I had the Stac P...

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    I went another way. I used the Prodigy as my inexpensive gateway drug into 2011s. I expected minor issues…and I’m very pleased with My prodigy now. But… I had to know what Staccato was like, and…now I’m hooked. Looking to replace my EDC P320X compact with a C2 or CS…. I really like the platform.

    Mgar, as someone who went through the SA warranty process… call them. I sent an email that to this day, never got answered. I called them Monday morning and had an RMA label within 10 minutes.
