The BEST Entry Level 2011 ? Springfield Prodigy DS 1911 - A YEAR LATER Update !
This video provides a year-later update on the Springfield Prodigy DS 4.25-inch 2011 pistol. The reviewer details initial reliability issues, including failures to feed and eject, which required sending the firearm back to Springfield Armory for service. After the repairs, which included reaming the barrel chamber and other adjustments, the pistol now functions flawlessly and is described as 'super smooth' and 'buttery.' The reviewer highlights the Prodigy's role in popularizing more affordable double-stack 1911 platforms, comparing it favorably to higher-priced competitors like Atlas, especially considering the significant price difference.
