It says Springfield Armory right on the side.
Very helpful, thanks.
My order was paid for and has been processing since August 24. Was hoping to install it this weekend but it hasn't shipped yet. Was in stock when I ordered.I just ordered a Phoenix Trinity Hero aluminum DLC grip for my Prodigy. Probably my only complaint about this Prodigy is the plastic grip. It works, but is cheap and I already had an issue of plastic starting to egg out plastic removing and reinstalling the mag release
I think with this Hero grip this pistol is 100% perfect.

I'm the same way. I'm not a huge fan of the plastic grips the way the feel in the hand especially the one in the poordigy. The dimensions and design of it are fine but the plastic itself doesn't have a great hand feel if you ask me

It won't be long before you're into that Springfield for the same money as a long block build or TSO.
So same money as a TSO and a few hundred less than a long block.I'm only into it for just over $2000 and it's done and perfect.

Once you really start shooting it you'll probably need to replace the small parts. I don't see that gun going more than 20k rounds before a rebuild.
What is a TSO or Long block?
I think he means CZ Tactical Sport Orange and STI Edge... two absolute classics.
Thanks. I'm not a fan of the CZ TSO at all. I had a gun shop trying to give me one years ago to offset some of an invoice they owed me for IT work. I didn't like how it felt in my hand or looked. Just not my cup of tea
And from my research the STI Edge quality fell off the rebranded to Staccato and dropped the Edge... looking at staccato a 5" 2011 like my prodigy ds5 is $3899.. this is the reason I went prodigy picking it up for $1250 and putting right around $1000 into it and it runs smooth as hell and feels amazing in my hand. I'm 1000% happy with it.
No, a Long Block is a fit slide, frame, and barrel. There's a bunch of sources, Brazos for example. STI did sell fit slide and frames to build guns on but stopped well before they were bought out.I think he means CZ Tactical Sport Orange and STI Edge... two absolute classics.
They're not for everyone... personally, I hate how thin the aluminum CZ Orange grips are, and they would have to be replaced with something else immediately for me, but generally, I love all CZs lol. Most guys have never felt a handgun trigger as light and awesome as what comes on a CZ TSO straight out of the box... they're kind of "gateway drug to race guns" in that regard lol.
Staccatos are straight trash IMO. STI was an amazing employee-owned company, Texans making 1911-patterned guns and only 1911-patterned guns, so even the lower-priced ones kicked ass. Staccato is for fake operators and other Chads, they purchased STI trying to buy instant credibility (and in a way, sort of did) but the guns aren't anything near what STI turned out.
It really is worth searching out old STIs on Gunbroker or whatever from the late 90s into early 2000s... they're still not too overpriced and there is real mojo there, as a guitar guy, it's kind of like what you get in a vintage Les Paul or Strat, they really don't "make them like they used to"...
CZs are incredibly customizable. If you don't like the grips there's endless options. The reason I mentioned the TSO is because of it's fit slide and frame, unlike a standard Tactical Sport or Shadow 1/2. CZ makes a Shadow 2 Orange as well, same fit parts.
It's ironic calling Staccatos trash in a Springfield thread. Most of the STI complaints were from people that didn't understand what they were buying. Those guns didn't just run without maintenance. Same as all the new 2011 in vogue today. Most people just don't shoot them enough to find out.
I get the point of the Springfield, however, if you change all of the parts chasing reliability, quality, customization, etc, you'll spend as much, or more, than if you just bought a good gun in the first place.
Saw this the other day, Ed Brown is doing mods on them for about $2600. A bit steep considering they are close to $1000 street price, but when you consider a $1500+ MSRP, but for a beavertail, ambi safety, EDM trigger, reliability package, flattened/serrated slide top, recessed crown, dehorn and coated if you want all that stuff with full warranty it's probably not a horrible setup.
Granted if you don't you can probably get a good 1911/2011 smith to do the work for less, or do it yourself for less
love mine alsoJust got back from shooting about 500rd through my Prodigy for the first time since installing the PT Hero grip and Red Dirt trigger and tuning it.
I ran off a few thousand 124gr 9mm with 4.0gr Titegroup. 1023 SD 11 on my 1050 autodrive
Man this thing is absolutely perfect. Smooth as silk, trigger is amazing and feels great in the hand. Not a single hiccup or issue.
I'm done messing with it. It's exactly how I want it.
Jarvis threaded barrel finally came in
Think I’ll replace the safety and slide stop and extractor next for machined parts
