Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy Features

The Springfield Prodigy is a 1911 pattern pistol that operates on John Browning’s short-recoil and tilting barrel action.  It is built with a 4.25 inch bull barrel with an 11 degree crown for maximum accuracy and also has an adjustable single-action trigger that prevents over-travel.  Its steel slide has a removable optics plate for mounting red dot sights in case paired with square-notch rear sight and fiber-optic front sight.

Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy Capacity

The Springfield Prodigy is chambered in 9x19mm Luger and feeds from steel double-stack, single-feed magazines giving it superior ammo capacity over the standard 1911.  Flush-fit magazines offer a capacity of 17 rounds while extended magazines offer a 20 round capacity.

Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy Ergonomics

Ergonomics
The Prodigy is built with an ambidextrous thumb safety and a grip safety which is commonly found on 1911 pattern guns, though the stipled grip and trigger guard are vast improvements that are beloved by competitive shooters.  The slide is machined with deep, wide serrations to ensure a positive grip when manually cycling the action, even with wet hands.


Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy Fit & Finish

While the initial production run of the Prodigy showed some minor growing pains, current production examples provide some of Springfield’s best performance the company has to offer.  These are 100% made in America unlike the imported XD series, and that American quality can be seen on every smooth surface and felt in every crisp trigger pull.


Fit and Finish

Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy Concealability

Concealability
Measuring 7.8 inches long, 5.5 inches tall and 1.3 inches wide, the Prodigy can be concealed with the right attire, though the height can cause the butt of the grip to protrude through clothing, thus necessitating extra care in choosing a carry holster.  The stipling on the grip can cause abrasions to the sensitive skin around your lower torso, so wearing an under-shirt may be beneficial.
