    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    Mine was very, very tight as well. Back end in first, tap with a rubber mallet. My mag well is a Staccato gen 2. It was very, very tight, but…with a rubber mallet it popped on. I have the same A14 plate on mine w/ a 507c. Mine didn’t drop or plunk in either. I finagled it and tapped it with a...

    Prodigy makes most unreliable list

    Yeah, heard. I’m torn between a P, a C2 and getting that cam and Dyno tune for my Harley.. LOL. I was originally leaning towards the P. But, the C2 would probably make it into my EDC routine, whereas the P…just target/range. And I already have my prodigy, X5 and Canik that fit that bill...

    Prodigy makes most unreliable list

    I do gotta say…more surprising than the prodigy is the P320. I’ve had 3, down to 2…an X5 legion and a 320X Compact and they’ve been amazing. My x5 had a few FTE in the first couple hundred rounds, probably close to 5K later, no issues. My 320X compact, 1000 rounds, zero issues, not even taking...

    Prodigy makes most unreliable list

    I think that’s beyond fair. I also like his transparency of how/where he acquired the gun. But, I’ll stand by this as well. Yes, plenty of problems out there that are noted. However, you hardly see all the pistols that operated fine from day one that were not handpicked for YouTubers…. And...

    Prodigy makes most unreliable list

    I like honest outlaw reviews, and I agree with him for the most part. what could be a dislike for him…maybe not others, but that being said, i think it’s pretty well documented the growing pains of the pistol. I went through it too… and I actually have a 22K serial number. Less than 10 day...

    Good reason not the tailgate!

    Saw this earlier… I commented…that’s my luck. After going airborne, rolling, coming back down…then tagged in the back by a tire… just a little icing on the cake. Glad everyone is ok…

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    And…call Springfield ahead of time, tell them it “did” fall out….so you have the spares and aren’t looking for some fiber :)

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    Range/outdoors with light. Honestly, with blacked out rear and a fiber only front, they’re tough to see. IMO…if carry is your choice and low light is involved, night sites are better, or at least a tritium based front blade. To each their own However.

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    Agreed. I owned two of them, sold one…still have the other. Canik Rival S and S&W Competitor (sold the latter) I too get…cost of materials, labor, etc. But more than double? C’mon. I also get…the plate includes the blacked out rear sight…but still, double? Glad I got in while I did, but… I’ve...

    First Look: Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm

    Wow….just wow. When I first got mine they were $60…which, I thought was priced right in the market. More than double now… just wow. IMO, $60 to $90 is about right. That being said…the Stacatto plates are even more typically. That’s just a steep switch from what it was not that long ago.

    1911 DS Prodigy

    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...

    1911 DS Prodigy

    True. But one could argue the Shield plus doesn’t have 100 year plus roots that started out as a .45 ACP…

    1911 DS Prodigy

    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.

    Prodigy 5in w/HEX Dragonfly

    true that. But…it was literally a very nice, 5 minute Phone call with Springfield. They advised me it was .060 and took my name and address, didn’t verify my serial number or anything (your mileage may vary…) and off on it’s way. I could have purchased them from Dawson, tax, shipping, etc., and...

    Prodigy DS

    Ditto, but 2 17 and 3 20 rounders. Never had a problem. I never have stuffed that last round in, though. On any pistol I carry or use, I don’t chamber and top off. I know…I know.. I hope I never need that last bullet. My counterpoint is I hope I never need the first.

    Prodigy 5in w/HEX Dragonfly

    I shot the P yesterday. As I said, it was a range rental and not taken care of, first thing I did was throw a few drops of oil on rails, barrel and hood. Worked that in. My Prodigy feels like it’s on ball bearings, compared to that pistol which felt like it was a cheap striker fired. Again…not...

    Prodigy 5in w/HEX Dragonfly

    Gotcha…title of the thread is 5”…and I didn’t go back to look at if you were the OP or not. It’s a great pistol indeed. I put an EGW ignition kit in mine and with a few hundred rounds down range, the trigger has settled into a nice 2.25lb pull or so, clean, crisp… I shot a Stacatto P yesterday...

    Prodigy 5in w/HEX Dragonfly

    Heard. Mixed reviews on the the Hex out there, but you could probably say the same about a lot of things. Honestly, I think you’re spending money one way or the other. Getting the Hex fixed won’t resolve your dirty glass issue, so at that point, it’s either gonna be get the barrel welded and...

    Prodigy 5in w/HEX Dragonfly

    While I disagree on it being a safety issue…to each their own. I feel for you…as any other optic will require a plate change. RMR being the most common which handles the Trijicon and Holosun models…and others. I “think” the Holosun sits a bit back…you may also take a look at the Trijicon SRO...

    Prodigy 5in w/HEX Dragonfly

    I honestly don’t have the dirty lens issue with my Holosun 407 or 507C. The S&W Competitor I just sold…that…was bad. There’s a guy in Holland MI that will weld and blend the barrel. RLB…how is this a safety hazard? It could get smudged by your hand racking the slide, rain…etc, but safety...
