The Springfield Armory Prodigy DS delivers match-grade accuracy in a competition-ready platform that bridges the gap between 1911 tradition and modern striker-fired performance. This optic-ready pistol combines the familiar grip angle and trigger feel of a 1911 with double-stack capacity and contemporary manufacturing precision.
What Makes This Different
The Prodigy DS features a unique dual-spring recoil system that reduces felt recoil compared to traditional 1911 designs while maintaining the crisp trigger break that competitive shooters demand. The stainless steel match-grade bull barrel delivers consistent accuracy, while the black Cerakote finish on the carbon steel slide and frame provides superior corrosion resistance. Unlike standard polymer-framed pistols, this design retains the balanced weight distribution that makes rapid follow-up shots more controllable.
Key Features
- Stainless steel match-grade bull barrel for enhanced accuracy and heat dissipation
- Optic-ready slide cut accepts popular red dot sights without modification
- Double-stack magazine capacity of 10+1 rounds in 9mm Luger
- Black Cerakote finish on carbon steel slide and frame for durability

The match-grade barrel and precision-machined slide deliver sub-2-inch groups at 25 yards with quality ammunition. The dual-spring recoil system manages muzzle flip effectively during rapid-fire sequences, making it suitable for competitive shooting disciplines like USPSA and IDPA. The optic-ready slide accepts most popular micro red dot sights, allowing shooters to upgrade their sighting system without gunsmithing. Weather-resistant Cerakote coating maintains function in adverse conditions.
