Springfield Armory is launching 4.25- and 5-inch models of the 1911 DS Prodigy Comp AOS 9mm with integral compensators. The compensators are designed to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise, and have a single port on the top of the hammer-forged slide and barrel. The compensator enhances control by redirecting gas upwards, allowing for faster and more accurate follow-up shots. Additionally, the pistols feature a tritium front sight positioned behind the compensator to ensure an uninterrupted sight picture.
The Prodigy Comp takes the proven 1911 platform and enhances it with double-stack capacity and a performance-driven feature set. Configured around a double-stack magazine, the polymer grip module of the 1911 DS pistol mounts to a forged steel frame, offering magazine capacities of 17 or 20 rounds.
The Prodigy Comp features slides cut for Springfield Armory’s AOS (Agency Optic System) plates. Developed in collaboration with Agency Arms, these billet steel plates deliver proper optic height for intuitive sight picture and instant target acquisition and feature an integral rear sight. The Prodigy Comp ships with an RMSc-compatible plate as well as a cover plate, while additional optic-specific plates are available for purchase.
“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.”
Each pistol comes with one 17-round flush-fit and one 20-round extended magazine, with optional 26-rounders available for purchase.
