Worth Every Penny
If you're looking for a quality 9mm 1911 with major upgrades, extreme shoot-ability, for an entry level price...this is the weapon system for you! I own multiple 9mm 1911s and this is by far my favorite, and the least expensive. Smooth tracking slide, already cut for optics, affordable magazines from Duramag, compatible with most 9mm double stack 1911 accessories and parts, great grip texture, bull barrel and this all comes with the wonderful customer service from Springfield! What more can you ask for?!?!
Just So Easy To Shoot!
I purchased a 5" version from one of my local retailers a little over a week ago. I am an avid Glock guy, and wanted to experience the 2011 life, but didn't want to pay the Staccato price. So, I figured the DS would allow me to try a good 2011 pistol out at a much more decent price. Man, I am very pleased with my purchase! It is the upgraded model (post feed issue upgraded), and it runs like a dream. I have 400rds through it at this point and have only had one failure (light strike, that I am going to attribute to the crap Ammo Inc ammo, I get the same thing with my Glocks when shooting this ammo) that has happened. The pistol just shoots so flat and smooth, it is extremely easy to stay on target and run fast accurately. It is a heavy pistol, but I think that this is what makes it so easy to shoot. The styling of the pistol is very subtle, yet low key aggressive, pictures do not do it justice.
Not so good
I bought a 4.25" Prodigy on 1/7/24 ran several different types of ammo through it and found that fmj bullets ran well through it but could not find a hollow point that would not jam! Even after cleaning! I'm not sure if i put 150 rounds through it! Then the safety began to fail, after that it went back to Springfield where it is now! I have 3 other Springfield pistols 2 1911s and a sa35 they are all great pistols and have never failed!! I'm sure that Springfield will make it right! Though frustrating after spending over 1300$!!!
