The 2311 that Oracle Arms introduced at this years Shot Show, will use P320 magazines
If it does use the same mags...The EAA/Girsan 2311 witness is advertised as using standard 2011 mags, so I’m assuming Staccato, Prodigy and Checkmate mags will work.

A 2011 that uses P320 Mags: Meet the Oracle Arms 2311 | American Firearms
Nevada gunmaker Oracle Arms plans to make a splash at SHOT Show with a new 2011 (double-stack 9mm SAO 1911 pistol) that– spoiler alert– uses Sig Sauer P320-pattern 21-round magazines. The reason that is a big deal is that, even Sig-marked P320 mags can be found for about $35, which, while not as...www.americanfirearms.org
Thanks for that insight. After agonizing for months, I pulled the trigger and ordered a Prodigy. Serial number is 17xxx, so I assume that is a newer build, and hopefully one that’s good to go from the factory. Glad to hear the new ones seem to be running better from day one. I can’t wait to get it in hand. It’s my first 1911 style platform of any type other than my 1911-22.
Just keep in mind since this is your first 1911 of any kind that 1911s in general can be fickle and often require some patience on the end users part. They’re not like a polymer striker fired gun in practically any way, particularly take down and reassembly and most polymer guns will shoot just about anything while 1911s can be very particular about ammo - particularly JHPs. My Prodigy has run perfectly since day one, but even so there are certain JHPs like Sig Sauer V-Crown that it just doesn’t like. I would recommend that your fist couple hundred rounds you use 124 gr rounds. While you’re at it, look up 1911 idiot scratch. This is not such an issue with the Prodigy but it doesn’t hurt to be aware. Enjoy your new Prodigy it is a fantastic gun. And welcome to the venerable 1911 club.
Mine (Commander length) was serial 22xxx and bought new in December.. FYI.
Bought my 5" Prodigy on the day of the promotion and was there for the Safe Opening 9/3/22 (My LGS was one of the hundred or so Official SA Dealers.) I looked at the serial number and thought "How many of these were made for the first day of purchase?", as mine was in the 18nnn SN# range.
Oh, then I guess my inbound 17xxx was part of the first run….so scratch my thought on getting a newer one.
Well, I think only Springfield knows for sure. Maybe when problems were reported, they held some back, corrected the issues than shipped ones such as yours back out to their dealers. I think the only way to find out is to shoot yours and see what's what. Maybe yours will be issue free. Good luck with it, it's a fine pistol for sure.
My 4.25 model Prodigy is in the 2000 serial number range so it's almost as early of a model as you can get and I haven't had so much as a hint of an issue with hundreds of rounds down the pipe at this point in time.
