I\u2019ll let you do the math. However, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/springfield\/firearms\/handguns\/?brand=Springfield&amp;utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=first-look-springfield-armory-prodigy-1911\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Springfield Armory<\/a> continues to expand upon the platform. It has now added advanced modern features, along with an increased double-stack capacity, in this beauty of a 1911. Long gone are the days of 1911s only coming with a single-digit capacity and wooden grips. The Springfield Armory Prodigy is not the 1911 your grandfather would remember.<\/p>\n<h2>First Impressions Matter<\/h2>\n<p>Picking the Prodigy up for the first time, I began to question why it had been so long since I\u2019ve owned a 1911. With a forged steel frame and pre-mounted Hex Dragonfly <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/parts-and-accessories\/scopes-and-optics\/red-dot-and-holographic-sights\/?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=first-look-springfield-armory-prodigy-1911\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">red dot<\/a>, there is a weight and heft to it that feels like a military tank. The Adaptive Grip Texture on the double-stack grip feels amazing in hand and has a nice upgraded feel to it.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"512\" alt=\"Springfield Armory Prodigy 9mm 1911 iwth extended magazine in front of a brick wall\" class=\"wp-image-81506 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-4.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-4.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-4.jpg?resize=150%2C120&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-4.jpg?resize=640%2C512&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-4.jpg?resize=640%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Springfield Armory Prodigy 9mm 1911 iwth extended magazine in front of a brick wall\" class=\"wp-image-81506\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-4.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-4.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-4.jpg?resize=150%2C120&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>The Prodigy is one good looking gun!

From top to bottom, the Prodigy leaves almost nothing to be desired. This may not be an ideal candidate for concealed carry due to its size, but you can bet it\u2019s going to make a great precision range gun or tactical sidearm for when you\u2019re training.<\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-1 ai-viewport-1\" style=\"margin: 8px auto; text-align: center; display: block; clear: both;\">\n<!--Mid Article Ad for Desktop--><br \/>\n<a target=\"\u201d_blank\u201d\" href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/firearms\/?q=ap5\" rel=\"noopener\"> <img decoding=\"async\" align=\"center\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ca_ap5_.jpg?w=500&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\" srcset=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" class=\" jetpack-lazy-image\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/ca_ap5_.jpg?w=500&amp;ssl=1\" align=\"center\" px=\"\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><\/a><\/div>\n<p>From an aesthetic perspective, I love the all-black finish. It\u2019s accomplished by a black Cerakote finish on all the metal parts, that complement the black grip module. The deep front and rear slide serrations, Picatinny rail on the dust cover, and the skeletonized hammer create a tactical aesthetic, that sets it apart from many 1911s out there.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnder the hood\u201d you\u2019ll find a 5-inch match-grade bull barrel with an 11-degree crown. The longer barrel and slide help to reduce the felt recoil, which makes it simple to keep your follow-up shots in line. Of course, the clean, crisp trigger helps too. Using a Wheeler <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cheaperthandirt.com\/lyman-electronic-lcd-digital-trigger-pull-gauge-7832248\/FC-011516522481.html?utm_source=blog.cheaperthandirt&amp;utm_medium=referral&amp;utm_campaign=first-look-springfield-armory-prodigy-1911\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">digital trigger gauge<\/a>, the trigger broke around 5 pounds 6 ounces, and I found it to be extremely consistent while shooting.<\/p>\n<p>If you need to give it a good cleaning, fieldstripping is simple. There is no barrel bushing like you\u2019d find on a Government Model 1911. Instead, the Prodigy dissembles just similar to other 2011s on the market.<\/p>\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"512\" alt=\"Springfield Armory Prodigy 9mm 1911 with a spare magazine on the included soft case\" class=\"wp-image-81503 jetpack-lazy-image\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-1.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-1.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-1.jpg?resize=150%2C120&amp;ssl=1 150w\" data-lazy-sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-1.jpg?resize=640%2C512&amp;is-pending-load=1#038;ssl=1\"\/><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"640\" height=\"512\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-1.jpg?resize=640%2C512&amp;ssl=1\" alt=\"Springfield Armory Prodigy 9mm 1911 with a spare magazine on the included soft case\" class=\"wp-image-81503\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-1.jpg?w=648&amp;ssl=1 648w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-1.jpg?resize=300%2C240&amp;ssl=1 300w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/08\/Springfield-Prodigy-1.jpg?resize=150%2C120&amp;ssl=1 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><\/noscript><figcaption>In the box, you\u2019ll find a soft zippered case, a 17-round magazine and 20-round magazine. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<p>There are several smaller features that shouldn\u2019t go unnoticed.

My first magazine (plus a few extra rounds) through the gun, resulted in sub-2-inch groupings out to 7 yards, and roughly 3-inch groupings out to 15 yards. For me, that is shooting I\u2019m happy with \u2014 especially with a gun that is new to me. By the end of a few more magazines, I was able to keep those groupings just as tight and focus more on speeding up my <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.cheaperthandirt.com\/shooting-101-recoil-control-marksmanship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">follow-up shots<\/a>. I can\u2019t wait to get this out to a longer range and see how far I can maintain similar accuracy.<\/p>\n<h2>Final Thoughts<\/h2>\n<p>If I were to design my ideal 1911, it would be pretty darn close to the Springfield Armory Prodigy. High-capacity, Picatinny rail, optics-ready slide, and a blacked-out tactical aesthetic. With the accuracy and reliability I\u2019ve experienced with the Prodigy so far, I\u2019m confident this will be one of those guns that accompany me on almost every range trip. If 1911s are your thing, you need to do yourself a favor and check out the Prodigy.<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The 1911 design is timeless. Today, the 1911 platform chambered in 9mm is gaining popularity \u2014 especially when you consider the capacity advantage of the \u201c2011.\u201d Are you a fan of 1911s chambered in 9mm?
