Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy Hex 9mm 5" Barrel 17+1/20+1

Have you ever wanted a 2011 style pistol but were not sure of which one would work for you? Maybe something not as expensive but has a majority of the features? Well the folks at Springfield Armory have a pistol for you, introducing the Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy. The Springfield 1911 DS Prodigy Hex is an optic included, single action only 1911 pistol with a high capacity double stack (DS) magazine chambered in 9mm. The Prodigy brings the tried and true 1911 with its outstanding trigger into the 21st century with a double stack magazine and an impressive 17 or 20 round capacity.

A forged steel slide whit a beautiful deep black Cerakote  finish provides maximum strength and durability. The Prodigy uses an exposed three position skeletonized hammer with a textured, round hammer spur for positive control and fast lockup. In simple terms, the middle, "half cocked" position can be considered as a passive extra safety to prevent the hammer from falling and discharging the weapon should your finger slip while cocking the gun. Of course, this is a 1911 so an ergonomic extended ambidextrous thumb safety and grip safety provide layers of security against accidental discharge. A loaded chamber indicator is there to keep you informed of the loaded or unloaded status of the firearm. Out front, a Picatinny rail provides ample room for your choice of weapon light or laser.

Springfield has liberally applied the same Adaptive Grip Texture as the popular Hellcat subcompact for maximum control even under adverse conditions. Thanks to a collaboration with Agency Arms, the AOS (Agency Optic System) uses an interchangeable billet steel optics plate with an integral rear U-Notch sight specific to the individual red dot sight to co-witness the optic. The Prodigy Hex comes with a Hex Dragonfly red dot sight. Springfield has optimized the sight picture for a very practical point of aim at 25 yards. Meaning at 25 yards, the bullet should impact the target at the point visible at the top of the front sight. The Prodigy comes with (1) 17 and (1) 20 round magazines.

As an added bonus 1911 DS magazines are cross compatible with 2011 platforms. For those who are interested in a 2011 style pistol for home defense or competition use should check out the Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy Hex.
