The Springfield Prodigy 1911 DS faces a significant issue with its optic mounting system. The AOS plate frequently loosens or detaches when using red dot sights like the Holosun 407C. This necessitates re-applying Loctite and remounting the optic every 500 rounds, indicating a critical reliability concern for an EDC or self-defense firearm.
