Springfield Armory announced last week the introduction of its latest innovation: the 1911 DS Prodigy Comp AOS 9mm. This pistol combines the classic elegance of a 1911 with the modern demands of performance, offering shooters what can be a reliable sidearm.

A feature of the Prodigy Comp is its integral compensator. This discreetly designed feature directs gas upward, effectively reducing recoil and muzzle rise. The result is a smoother shooting experience, allowing for faster target acquisition and improved accuracy. To complement the compensator, a tritium front sight is strategically placed for optimal visibility in any lighting condition. The new 1911 DS Prodigy Comp 9mm handguns retain the familiar feel of classic 1911s while introducing innovative features. A ported barrel and slide significantly reduce recoil, enhance slide cycling, and improve overall shooting stability.

One of the most striking features of the Prodigy Comp is its double-stack capacity. Springfield Armory has successfully merged the iconic 1911 frame with a polymer grip module to accommodate more rounds without compromising the pistol's classic aesthetics. With options for 17+1 and 20+1 round capacities, shooters can confidently take on any situation.

To cater to a wider range of preferences, Springfield Armory is offering both 5-inch and 4.25-inch barrel lengths. Each pistol comes with two magazines—a flush-fitting 17-round and an extended 20-round option. For those seeking maximum capacity, 26-round magazines are available as an aftermarket accessory.

“The Prodigy pistol has proven to be very popular with shooters looking for the appeal of the classic 1911, but with enhanced double-stack magazine capacity and modern features,” said Steve Kramer, Springfield Armory’s Vice President of Marketing. “The flat-shooting Prodigy Comp adds the benefit of reduced muzzle flip and faster follow-up shots to an already highly capable design.”

The pistol is available in the popular Coyote Brown Cerakote finish, adding a rugged and tactical look. Springfield Armory has also addressed the needs of shooters in restricted areas by offering 10-round versions of the Prodigy Comp.

With its sleek design, innovative features, and exceptional performance, the Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy Comp AOS 9mm is poised to redefine the 1911 platform. Whether you're a seasoned shooter or a firearms enthusiast, this pistol is sure to impress.

At a suggested retail price of $1,599, the Prodigy Comp offers an exceptional value proposition. By blending the timeless allure of the 1911 with modern technology, Springfield Armory has created a firearm has to be the potential to be a tactical powerhouse.
