The Springfield Armory Prodigy PH9117AOS bridges the gap between 1911 tradition and modern striker-fired performance, delivering double-stack capacity in a proven platform. This 9mm pistol combines the crisp trigger feel of a 1911 with contemporary features that competitive shooters and professionals demand.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard 1911 pistols limited to single-stack magazines, the Prodigy accommodates high-capacity double-stack magazines while maintaining the familiar grip angle and trigger characteristics. The optic-ready slide eliminates the need for custom machining, and the integrated Picatinny rail expands accessory options beyond traditional 1911 capabilities. Springfield's engineering delivers 20+1 capacity in a frame size comparable to compact striker-fired pistols.
Key Features
- Double-stack 9mm capacity with 20-round and 17-round magazines included

The Prodigy excels in competitive shooting environments where capacity and accuracy matter equally.
