Springfield Armory has launched the 1911 DS Prodigy Comp AOS 9mm pistols in 5-inch-barrel and 4.25-inch-barrel variants. Both of these pistols are integrally compensated to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise.
The integral compensator on the Prodigy Comp features a single port on the top of the hammer-forged slide and barrel. By redirecting gas upward, it reduces muzzle rise and enhances control, allowing for faster and more accurate follow-up shots.
Elsewhere, the pistols feature a tritium front sight positioned behind the compensator to ensure an uninterrupted sight picture. The polymer grip module of the 1911 DS pistol mounts to a forged steel frame. The Prodigy Comp is configured around a double-stack magazine, offering capacities of 17+1 and 20+1.
To accept the most popular red-dot optics, the Prodigy Comp features slides cut for AOS (Agency Optic System) plates. Developed in collaboration with Agency Arms, these billet steel plates deliver proper optic height and feature an integral rear sight. The Prodigy Comp ships with a HEX Dragonfly 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 two magazines — one 17-round flush fit and one 20-round extended, with optional 26-rounders available for purchase. Both the 5-inch-barrel and the 4.25-inch-barrel models have an MSRP of $1,599. In addition, 10-round variants of both models are available for restrictive states.
