Presenting the Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy, an exquisite blend of historical prestige and modern functionality. This semi-auto pistol is a remodeled derivative of the iconic 1911 model, designed by John Browning and served as the U.S. military's primary sidearm for over seven decades. This specific model, in very good condition, shows only minor handling marks and scuffs, a testament to its resilience and durability. The bore is in excellent condition with a clean, mirror finish, and sharp lands and grooves on the rifling.
This sale includes one 17 round magazine.
Boasting a caliber of 9mm Luger, this beauty combines the traditional 1911 style with new-age features prioritizing user comfort and performance. Its single-action only (SAO) trigger mechanism makes it a prime choice for competitive shooting and self-defense. The Prodigy's black finish lends it a sleek, timeless aesthetic, while the steel frame with accessory rail and polymer grip ensures a solid, comfortable hold. Its sight features dovetail sights, a red fiber optic at the front, and a black serrated rear sight, along with an optics cut. The custom ported slide and barrel enhance its recoil control and muzzle rise, making it a reliable tool in high-pressure situations.
Despite its modern modifications, the DS Prodigy submodel maintains the heart of the classic 1911, making it a worthy addition to any firearm enthusiast's arsenal. The custom trigger, gas pedal, and ambidextrous safety offer improved operational functionality and an increased magazine capacity of 17+1, making it a high-capacity model in the 1911 series. However, please note that the gas pedal slide release does not hold open on the last round. The included optics plate is for RMR footprint.
