I bought a 5? Prodigy a year ago. The shop had 4, I checked them all out and picked the one with the best trigger, 4.3 lbs, and the smoothest slide/frame fit/function. I have made 4 subtle changes: an EGW slide release as the factory piece is too thin for me to engage with my thumb, a front night sight, one piece guide rod and a steel mainspring housing.
It?s been flawless with every type of ammo I?ve tried and very accurate. I normally keep a TLR-1 HL light on it and it?s the first one out of the safe and close at hand in my truck. Couldn?t be happier with it.
The 1911 has been my preferred pistol since I learned to shoot 56 years ago, have a few higher end versions and enjoy the Prodigy almost as much as them.
Here it is with one of my Les Baer pistols (bought on this forum btw) from recent range outing

I bought one of the first production 4.25 Prodigies - we initially had numerous FTF issues with it. I contacted Springfield and they sent us a completely new slide which fixed the issue in just a couple of weeks there and back.
Once we got it back, it shot great and was truly fun pistol. Last week, we did some easy upgrades to the pistol: Atlas one-piece guide rod, 14# spring, Tri Arc extended slide stop and are likely to buy the EGW ignition kit next.
Initially we had a Vortex viper (which fit on the included AOS plate) but it malfunctioned and sent it in to Vortex for repair. Under warranty Vortex sent us a new Defender ST and included a 15B AOS plate for the RMR footprint!
My son is shooting it in boiling pin and loving it. The pistol is so much fun to shoot we are looking for another (see WTB).
PS, I've been in Colorado Springs on and off during numerous assignments since 2002. We moved back from the beltway after retirement in 2020. I joined this board while living here in 2009 and simply haven't posted here - however I am active on 1911 Addicts forum (different user name and Sig Talk). I was member of WPGC and now DCF, not really a newbie or a troll....thanks for listening.
We have a RIA double stack 45 as a rental at Silverbullet.
I has been our 45 rental for close to two years now and running.
Lots of rounds, no issues.
Keeps on ticking...

Months ago I picked up a Tisas DS9 Carry for $562 shipped, stuck a Holosun on it, and I couldn't be happier. Recommended.
