1911 DS PRODIGY AOS 9MM LUGER SEMI-AUTO HANDGUN Reviews & Ratings

SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1911 DS PRODIGY AOS 9MM LUGER SEMI-AUTO HANDGUN

The Prodigy from Springfield Armory takes the proven 1911 platform and enhances it with double-stack capacity, performance-driven feature set and a bundled HEX Dragonfly red dot. Reconfigured around a double-stack magazine, the Prodigy’s polymer grip module mounts to its forged steel frame offering capacities of 10+1, 17+1 and 20+1. Optics ready with an ambidextrous safety and Picatinny rail the Prodigy combines the most beloved characteristics of the 1911 with modern capacity for unrivaled performance.

FEATURES:

The 3.5", 4.25” or 5” Prodigy features a bull barrel that allows you to not only recover quickly for follow-up shots, but also get match-grade accuracy.
From its flush-fitting 10, 15 or 17-round magazines to the extended 20-rounder —both included standard with the pistol — the Prodigy will never come up short on capacity.
The Prodigy employs AOS (Agency Optic System) plates that accept today’s most popular optics.
A double-zipper case is included with each Springfield Armory handgun. The soft-sided shell ensures the firearm and mounted accessories are protected during transportation, while an interior pouch can hold an additional magazine.

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$!!!
