Is The New Springfield Prodigy DS Worth It?
This review provides an expert look at the Springfield Armory Prodigy 1911 DS, comparing its double-stack 9mm design to traditional single-stack 1911s and other 2011 platforms like Staccato. The instructor highlights its optics-ready slide, ergonomics, and range performance, while also detailing a specific slide lock-back issue encountered with 20-round magazines, attributing it to a follower problem. The Prodigy is presented as a strong value option in the $1,500 price range.
