The Ed Brown Prodigy Comp delivers enhanced muzzle control and reduced recoil through its integrated compensator system, combining 1911 ergonomics with modern striker-fired reliability. This compensated 9mm pistol features a 4.25-inch barrel optimized for competitive shooting and tactical applications.
What Makes This Different
The Prodigy Comp stands apart from standard striker-fired pistols through its factory-installed compensator that reduces muzzle rise by approximately 30% compared to non-compensated models. Ed Brown's precision manufacturing ensures consistent lockup and enhanced accuracy potential. The compensator ports are precisely machined to direct gases upward, countering natural muzzle flip during rapid fire sequences.
