*Rumor* Springfield "Prodigy" 2011 Pistol

Very informative video from what appears to be a knowledgeable 1911 fan.

I believe this pistol is no longer a conspiracy theory, but fact.

Starting to sound like another case of gun manufacturers using customers as beta testers. I think I'll wait until next year to get serious about getting one. Let them get the bugs worked out and release more parts/upgrades.

Only offered in 9? No thanks. Let me know when they offer a .45

Ditto. Or 10 mm.

Ditto. Or 10 mm.

I'm too lazy and cheap to add another caliber at this point.

 

[Patched]

Lol. That's my reason for downsizing to 9mm and 22LR for all the handguns I am keeping.

 

[MindfulMan]

"downsizing" ..... hmmm, I don't understand that position.
I always like to UPsize !

Was in ZX today in the Fort… they had them in stock. Looked good, felt ok. But… at 1300 bucks… I’m not a buyer… I’m already a guinea pig at home with my sweeties ”creative” recipes. Don’t wanna be a GP for a gun manufacturer.

He lost me at "doesn't run with my re-loads".

$1300 ?

 

[TheGhostRider]

From what I can see, MIM parts and fit and finish.

So today… I picked up a SA Garrison .45. Took it home and did a full disassembly, cleaned, inspect then polish, lubed etc…
Mim everywhere… very disappointed in the amount of mim. As in all internal parts appear to be mim. I‘m debating on what my next move will be; shoot it till it pukes… replace the guts with good s**t or pawn it. I know… I know… price point yada yada.. but damn. I expected better from SA.

Go pick one up for 1300.00.

Do better reloads lol

 

[T-DOGG]

Without question. I'll be like a fat kid on ice cream at that price.

$1300 I think is below MSRP.

I'm with you when it comes to new firearms out. I'll wait and let others beta test.

Sounds like pure junk to me. I'll give you $500 to ease your pain.....

I have got to ask , being on INGO with all of our 1911 threads, how did you not know all Springfield's are full of MIM?
