Springfield's Prodigy brought the double-stack 1911 into reach for a lot of shooters who had watched that pattern stay in custom-shop territory for decades. It pairs a forged frame and slide with a match-grade bull barrel and the crisp single-action trigger that makes the 1911 platform shoot the way it does, wrapped around a higher-capacity 2011-style grip module.

This DS Prodigy is chambered in 9mm with a 5-inch barrel and Springfield's Agency Optic System, which mounts a red dot low and directly rather than through a stack of adapters. Between the mild 9mm impulse and the gun's weight, it tracks flat.
