Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy Compact
Springfield Armory has announced the launch of the new 1911 DS Prodigy Compact 9mm. Offered in 3.5” and 4.25” variants, the new 15-round Prodigy Compact takes the 1911 platform and enhances it with double-stack capacity and a carry-driven feature set.
Configured around a flush-fitting, double-stack magazine, these new pistols are slim enough for a comfortable grip while still packing in 15 rounds of 9mm ammunition. Both variants come standard with two magazines.
Designed for concealed carry and self-defense, the 1911 DS Prodigy Compact pistols feature a tritium front sight post for visibility in low-light conditions. This mates up with a serrated black U-notch rear sight unit. In addition, the pistols employ AOS (Agency Optic System) plates designed exclusively for the 1911 DS.
Machined from billet steel, each AOS plate is designed to deliver proper optic height for intuitive sight picture and instant target acquisition and features an integral rear sight. The Prodigy ships with a HEX Dragonfly compatible plate as well as a standard cover plate, with additional optic-specific plates are available for purchase.
To ensure the Prodigy Compacts are as light as possible, their polymer grip modules are mounted to a billet machined 7075-T6 aluminum frame. The result is a compact and lightweight CCW. The pistols’ slides are made of forged carbon steel, and the match-grade bull barrels are crafted from forged stainless steel.
In addition to an ambidextrous safety, the Prodigy Compacts feature recontoured hammers and beavertail grips safeties that minimize bulk while retaining full functionality. For corrosion resistance, the pistols feature a black Cerakote finish on their metal parts that complements the black polymer grip module. The barrels feature a black DLC finish.
