Springfield Armory

Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the launch of the new 1911 DS Prodigy™ Compact 9mm. The new 15-round Prodigy Compact takes the proven 1911 platform and enhances it with double-stack capacity as well as a carry-driven feature set. Configured around a flush-fitting, double-stack magazine, these new pistols are slim enough for a comfortable grip while still packing in 15 rounds of 9mm ammunition. Both variants come standard with two magazines.

Designed for concealed carry and self-defense, the pistols feature a tritium front sight post for visibility in low-light conditions. This mates up with a serrated black U-notch rear sight unit. In addition, the pistols employ AOS (Agency Optic System) plates designed exclusively for the 1911 DS.

Machined from billet steel, each AOS plate is designed specifically to deliver proper optic height for intuitive sight picture and instant target acquisition, and features an integral rear sight. The Prodigy ships with a HEX Dragonfly compatible plate as well as a standard cover plate.

To ensure the Prodigy Compacts are as light as possible the 3.5” model weighing 25.5 oz. the polymer grip module is mounted to a billet machined 7075-T6 aluminum frame. The result is a compact and lightweight CCW. The pistols’ slides is made of forged carbon steel, and the match-grade bull barrel is crafted from forged stainless steel.

In addition to an ambidextrous safety, the Prodigy Compact features recontoured hammers and beavertail grips safeties that minimize bulk while retaining full functionality. For corrosion-resistance, it features a black Cerakote finish on their metal parts that complements the black polymer grip module. The barrel feature a black DLC finish.
