Springfield Armory

The Prodigy from Springfield Armory takes the proven 1911 platform and enhances it with double-stack capacity and a performance-driven feature set. Reconfigured around a double-stack magazine, the Prodigy’s polymer grip module mounts to its forged steel frame offering capacities of 17+1 and 20+1. Optics ready with an ambidextrous safety and picatinny rail, the Prodigy combines the most beloved characteristics of the 1911 with modern capacity for unrivaled performance.

At the heart of the 9mm Prodigy™ pistol is the expertly engineered double-stack magazine. While still slim enough for a comfortable grip on the pistol, this magazine packs in 17 rounds of 9mm in a low-profile design. In addition, the pistol also comes with a 20-round extended magazine, while an optional 26-rounder is also available.

Developed in collaboration with Agency Arms, the Prodigy employs AOS (Agency Optic System) plates designed exclusively for the 1911 DS. Machined from billet steel, each plate is designed specifically 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, while additional optic-specific plates are available for purchase on our store.

The precision, single-action trigger of the 1911 has been the gold standard for over a century. With a clean pull and crisp break, ready for taking precision shots at distance, the Prodigy™ employs this design for unbeatable control.

Available in two lengths, the Prodigy™ is offered with either a 4.25” or 5” bull barrel made of forged stainless steel with an 11-degree crown. The result is a pistol that offers match-grade accuracy and fast follow-up shots.

Not all metal is created equal. The Prodigy™ is built on a rugged and dependable forged slide and frame for maximum strength. Mounted to the steel frame is a high-impact polymer grip module with wraparound Adaptive Grip Texture for positive tactile engagement in any condition.

The double stack Prodigy™ features substantial capacity. From its low-profile 17-round magazine to the extended 20-rounder — both included standard with the pistol — the Prodigy will never come up short on capacity. An optional 26-round magazine is also available. 1911 DS magazines are cross compatible with 2011® platforms.
