Frequently Asked Questions

What are the key custom modifications on this Springfield Prodigy DS?

This Springfield Prodigy DS features V-6 porting on the barrel, a Graphite Black Cerakote finish on the slide, internal EGW sear and hammer parts, and an Atlas long flat trigger. The magazine release has also been checkered for improved competition use.

How does the Atlas trigger improve shooting performance?

The Atlas long flat trigger is a single-stage trigger with no initial take-up and a very short reset. This design allows for rapid re-engagement of the trigger, enabling faster follow-up shots, which is crucial for competitive shooting and dynamic engagements.

What is the purpose of V-6 porting on a firearm barrel?

V-6 porting involves drilling six holes on the top of the barrel. These ports vent gases upwards during firing, which helps to counteract muzzle rise and can contribute to faster target reacquisition between shots.

Why modify the magazine release with checkering?

Checkering the magazine release, especially with a slight forward angle, provides enhanced grip and tactile feedback. This modification is beneficial for competition shooters, allowing for quicker and more positive magazine ejections and reloads.
