3 upgrades for your Springfield Prodigy 4.25" and 5" Hicap 1911, 1911 DS and 2011 Style Pistols.

Ойын-сауық

First thing! 1911DS, Hicap 1911s, and 2011s are not made from "drop in" parts. Even the less expensive guns still have a lot of hand-fitted parts in them. The following are a few things that require little or no skill to modify. Ask yourself, "Should I?" before starting.
1) Get some great feeding magazines from Atlas Gunworks. These will improve feed, and lockback performance, plus they look rad!
2) Toolless guide rod - anyone can do this!
3) Trigger Shoe and Bow - Watch the video we published on fitting a trigger in a Springfield Prodigy
4) Safeties - We recommend a gunsmith for this fitted part

    Great vid. Picked up your tool less guide rod right after receiving the email. Such a no brainier upgrade. The prodigy is my intro to the 2011 world and your vids have helped plenty.

    Sweet! Thanks for giving the Prodigy some love! Going to grab one of these guide rods. That 2 piece is a royal pain.

    New to the 1911 world. Never liked the capacity. But Looking to get into the 2011 world on a budget. I needed this video. Was planning to go prodigy or Bul armory and upgrade as I go with atlas products. I think my first upgrades would be thumb safeties, pinned grip safety, atlas trigger. Maybe a guide rod and recoil spring and gas pedal. Thanks for the video!

    Thanks so much I’ve already replace some non mim parts with a mix of Atlas and EGW, atlas parts are hard to get for the Prodigy!! My first replacement was the extractor and disconnector and recoil spring! Runs smooth now eats everything!! Also gun your mags tuned off you think they are a problem or send them into Springfield their customer service support has been awesome!!

    This is just one of the fantastic things about Atlas. Who else would do this review? Adam, I’m a hardcore Atlas guy, could you please consider making a 3.5 inch Ares? I would buy it today. I would buy the 3.5 Nyx but its unobtainium.

    I’d just a new Infinity drop in trigger and ignition kit for your staccato. They even make a kit for a Springfield prodigy

    I bought a Prodigy, but haven't been able to shoot it yet, and I just received my order from you guys with the guide rod replacement, what are you thoughts on the 9lb spring? should that be upgraded to a 10lb?

    been considering one of these, and the problem is needing that 500-1000 breakin + upgrades/gunsmith price basically equals the staccato P price. (unless im able to find a prodigy for around $1000-1100).

    Here’s another great upgrade to your Springfield Prodigy 1911…..buy a Staccato, Atlas, Wilson Combat, Phoenix Trinity, Nighthawk, Dan Wesson or Ed Brown 1911. All these companies make exceptional quality handguns that actually work and don’t malfunction! 🤷🏾‍♂️😂

    The best advice to upgrade the prodigy is to go sell it as soon as possible. Buy a Staccato. You only need that one upgrade. 😂
