GENESEO, ILL. (06\/28\/24) \u2013<\/strong> Springfield Armory\u00ae is proud to announce the release of two new 10-round 1911 DS Prodigy\u2122 pistols<\/a> \u2014 the 1911 DS Prodigy AOS Low Capacity<\/a>, and the 1911 DS Prodigy 4.25\u201d AOS Low Capacity<\/a> \u2014 designed for shooters who live in restrictive locales. The Prodigy takes the proven 1911 platform and enhances it with a performance-driven feature set.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The 10-round Prodigy features a polymer grip module that mounts to the pistol\u2019s forged steel frame. The grip module features a wraparound Adaptive Grip Texture treatment, made popular on the Hellcat\u00ae family of 9mm pistols. Matching up with this grip module and the forged steel receiver is a forged steel slide with forward serrations. Both it and the steel receiver feature a rugged black Cerakote\u00ae finish. Housed within the slide is a match-grade bushingless forged stainless steel bull barrel in both models.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Both the 5\u201d and the 4.25\u201d 10-round Prodigy pistols are ready to accept a wide range of optical sights. The Prodigy employs AOS (Agency Optic System) plates designed exclusively for the 1911 DS. Machined from billet 17-4 stainless steel, the AOS plates come fitted with a rear sight and are designed specifically to preserve visible iron sights for an intuitive sight picture and instant target acquisition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The pistol ships with a cover plate with rear sight as well as one optics-mounting plate. Additional plates designed to accept a wide range of popular optics are also available on the Springfield Armory Store. You can see a full fitment\/optics compatibility chart for the AOS plate system here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe Prodigy has proven itself as a pistol that takes everything shooters love about the classic 1911 design and updates it with a host of modern performance enhancements,\u201d said Steve Kramer, Vice President of Marketing for Springfield Armory. \u201cWith these new 10-round versions, the popular Prodigy pistol is now available to shooting enthusiasts in restrictive locales.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
