Did you mount a red dot?

I held one today and was a bit disappointed in the trigger after hearing reviews. Definitely more creep than my stock M&P Metal. Didn’t feel great. Felt decent, like a bit better than my XDME 10mm, but not worlds better. Nice grip. Love the Optics system.

Something got to that trigger…probably a bad holster.

You think the “vast majority” carry with an empty chamber? I would bet it’s a small minority. Maybe 10%.

No 1911 holster is designed to have the hammer down. None. That’s silly with a 1911. Anyway, no one should ever carry an auto with an empty chamber. It’s stupid. Train and learn safety.

If you are shooting unsupported (standing), a sling makes a massive positive difference. It should always be used. Lots of resources on how to use it properly.

I’ll check that loctite. I used the screws from the stock sight, which are the same size that ship with the A14B plate. Do you think they could be too long?

My Prodigy had been flawless…I added an optic, and now it won’t return to battery 30% of the time. What could have caused that change?

It’s the Marine “Corps” with an S.

I’ve never met anyone that hates the 1911. People all think they’re cool weapons and like them, they just don’t shoot them for the most part.

No round in the chamber is a completely different thing. I like a manual safety. Just like when I was in the Marines, the safety going off on the way up is automatic. Completely. It’s what you train to, and if you make it automatic, then it is better. I’ve done that. Others can too and I think...

He doesn’t say much in the article other than convey a “you wouldn’t understand” condescending tone.

Hopefully they’re coming that way from the factory now. My recent build functioned perfectly though the first 200. I assume they’re cutting the chamber bigger and polishing the ramp at the factory. Great shooting pistol.

I live in Haymarket, so almost in your old neighborhood…you probably saw but Elite shut down this month (bought by the county) so I lost my local range.

That’d be cool! I live in Virginia but go back “home” to Carolina when I can for ballgames. I’m going to try to get down for another baseball game or two this season.

Great story. If you’re at the range I’ll let you feel my trigger. If not, then I’ll offer it as my opinion based on the off the shelf triggers I have used and felt and my comparison to all of those as reference. Your opinion on my trigger that you have not pulled differs, and that’s ok.

You’re welcome to your opinion. I’ll say it’s as good a production trigger as I have felt. I know they vary widely on this pistol and I lucked out. Lots of people say their triggers have no creep, and I pick it up and it is absolutely there, so people differ in what they discern.

So I went to the range with my new Prodigy 4.25 and put 200 round through it. It is a serial #51xxx, so a very recent build. I hand cycled it about a 1000x cleaning every 300 or so to get the cerakote out, and dry fired a couple of hundred. The trigger measured at just over 3.5lbs after the dry...

Scratch that. I assumed the pic on the website was the actual gun. I picked up mine tonight and it’s a 51xxx, so brand new production. I’ll manually cycle a 1000x or so and get on the range next week. The thing is sweet looking and feeling; hopefully it shoots like it looks and feels.
