You also are like one of the only people I've heard of who never had an issue with the prodigy. Maybe you're the gun whisperer.

My Prodigy only had an issue with one particular type of ammo; beyond that, it’s been trouble free.

Okay. Are you saying you haven't seen a lot of threads about different SA 1911s giving people problems that they had to send the guns back to SA for ?

I’ve seen it on a lot of SA models…1911’s, XD’s, Echelons…usually right after a new model comes out.
SA likes to beta test on early adopters, it seems.

Honestly, I actually feel like that sometimes. I’ve had trouble free experiences with some notoriously sketchy guns, but I also am not a panicker. If something doesn’t go well I don’t feel personally aggrieved. I like the challenge, the chase for a solution. I also am not heavy handed in the least and I am absolutely convinced that 90% of gun issues are self inflicted by people who don’t understand how kack-handed they are. My personal experience as a firearm owner and user has been 110% enriching. Even when this happens:
PDP Pro X -WOW!

Only problem I've ever had was my 45acp handloads not enough taper crimp.

I've never had any problems with my various XD/S?/M family acquisitions, and not any of the 1911's but I haven't bought a SA 1911 since the mid-90's. My M1A's are all in the 80-90's era with no issues.
I have much more confidence in the Croatian imports than the recent domestic/Turkish offerings. Rushing new models to market before adequately getting all the bugs out seems to be counter productive.
I won't get any of SAs recent rifles since they're too pedestrian for my needs, and have with built/modified my own for ~30 yrs.

I can relate. The last time I had a problem with a handgun it was the 90s and it was using Mec Gar aftermarket mags in a Llama Max II .45. Before that the only issues were non issues really. 1911s needing feed ramp polishing or whatever.
I’ve never had an issue with an optic, ever. None came loose, lost zero, stopped working or even had a battery die.
I’ve been messing with ARs for about 5 or 6 years now, I’ve “built” about 10 of them now and never had so much as a failure to feed or fire.
Of course you have bought more guns in the last 4 years than I have in my whole life so the test pool for you is much larger.
