I think this applies to anything in life when comparing similar things: (Similar being the key word) If you've only ever had hands on experience with one of the items, you cannot possibly compare it to another that you haven't ever touched, let alone used. You're free to express 'opinions'...

Yes! I had mine come back recently and they solved everything. I did just figure out this weekend that my mags at least, are having binding issues and were likely causing my failures to feed. The original mags that came with the gun get stuck at times and don't feed right, but the other mags I...

The plot thickens! I took my original 20rd and the 20rd that I bought at my local GS apart together and what did I find? A completely different spring in both of them. Top spring is the original mag that's having binding issues and bottom one is the spring from the good mag I bought...

Went to the range again today. The two that are sticking caused a few failure to feeds - the extra 20 & 26rd I bought separately worked flawlessly (neither of them are sticking like the stock ones). Looks like I'll be snagging new springs - anyone know a good place to order from? :LOL: Careful...

I took them apart and cleaned and they were not dirty at all. Only a very little dusting of carbon at the top which wiped off easily with a paper towel. When I put the springs on the table, I noticed they're not sitting flat; they're both slightly bent and in different ways. One has a decent...

Gifs are worth a thousand words... but this has started to happen on BOTH my stock 17rd and 20rd Prodigy mags. The mags are not full in the gifs, 17rd only has 10rds at this point and the 20rd had 13 or 15. I think this might explain my very infrequent failure to feed issues. I have several...

Update time! I got my Prodigy 5" back today from SA. The trigger was previously 5lbs (which felt a bit heavy) and the tune up they gave to it made it around 3lbs now which I am a huge fan of! Feels much better. I can see that the ramp is smoother than before based off pictures I took before...

I sent all 3 mags I have in just to be sure they were all up to spec and not causing issues. If they find an issue with any of the mags I'm sure they'd replace them while they're there.

Brand new product and brand new design. In any industry, first runs are not always 'perfect', but I think SA knows how to tweak them now to get them running right. Not everyone experiences issues either.

VERY unlikely. Especially given my recent SA Repair list :D

I sent them 3 mags that I had as Customer Service said it would be good to include the mags I was using. It's probably just the 3 mags that I sent with it.

I had zero issues up until around 650rds so yea, bit strange all of that was needed. Honestly I only had one or two FTE's and FTF's every other mag (consistently though) after that so maybe they went the extra mile? Dunno. I sent them pictures of both types of failures as well. Definitely not...

Congrats on the purchase. I have a 5" Prodigy myself. A 1911 (2011) loves to be wet. Lube it. I would have recommend cleaning and lubing and racking it a whole bunch before you shot with it the first time, but since you've already used it, clean and lube and rack it, a lot. After doing that...

I just received the shipping notification and invoice for my Prodigy. Surprised the list is this extensive (especially replacing the safety as I didn't notice any problems with it), considering I didn't have any issues my first 600rds and only a handful of FTE's and FTF's through the rest of...

While looks are a factor, they're pretty low on the list for me. Definitely function first over fashion. I'd rather enjoy using it and have it perform. BUT - there are a handful of cases where I just flat out really didn't like the look of a gun before. That's very few and far between though.

VERY Nice! Good to see the Dawson parts work well in it. I got word my Prodigy is on its way back from Springfield soon. It has a laundry list of stuff done to it. I'll report back once I get it back and see official itemized list.

Man I really want a Ronin, but I'm so torn on which one to get!

Honestly it's a dream to shoot. I've enjoyed the hell out of it, even with the few issues I've had. Everyone I've let try it loves it. Even the Range Officer at my local range asked to try it and loved it. I'm not at all unhappy with it. It's a first run of a new product and if it has to go...

When I put in a spent casing in the slide to test, it wasn't holding it and it would drop out with little to no movement. I never did the test prior to yesterday after 1,000rds since I wasn't having any issues until around 650rds, so I don't honestly know if it was always that way. I took the...

Whelp! Sending my Prodigy 5" out to Springfield today. Oddly, first 600rds were flawless and suddenly around 650 it started to get FTF's and FTE's with multiple manufacturers ammo. Ran another 300+ through it to get over 1,000 and it keeps happening. Not super frequently but every other mag or...
