I got the 4.25 prodigy almost 2 years ago maybe. And it has been awesome in my opinion. All original factory parts. I do like it. Great video

I shot the 5” a couple weeks ago and it was a total different experience compared to my m&p 2.0.

Great stuff here Dave. I love my striker guns but always had a soft spot for 1911's. Tried my friends Prodigy last year and it was so smooth and accurate. I also tried a Shadow 2. These are like race guns. Built for speed.

Congrats on the two Prodigy DS pistols. I have the 5” and love it. I’ve had no issues with mine. Still prefer my Glock 19 for daily carry.

I have the 5” with nearly 800 plus rounds. Zero malfunctions from the get go. Easily one of my favorites in my stable. However my friend’s 4.25” is going through some growing pains. Several failures to go into battery per mag. We ran somewhere around 200 rounds with different weights, fmj and hollowpoints through it.

I love my Prodigy. Compete USPSA, IDPA and Steel matches. And it is untouched. Trigger at 3lb/4oz. Runs every ammo including my hand loads without a problem. The magazines are problem free as well. (Apparently the early ones had issues.) Vortex optic. I’ve had three Hex optics (SA’s product) and returned all three with issues. They refunded the total amount. Great customer support. I wouldn’t trade it for a Stacatto. To be honest - I don’t see much of a difference in the base model and I’ve shoot several. And Dave said it best: A lot of them need to go back to Stacatto to get them to run right, including my battle buddy’s .

i have the 4.25. have about 2000 rounds through it since summer last year. had to send it back to springfield for repairs, but since getting it back it's been pretty good. biggest issue the slide release. wish it was bigger, but it's just something you have to train.

Out of the box my 4.25 prodigy wouldn't go through 10 RDS without failing to go into battery by about 0.1". The disconnector was hanging up the slide. EGW parts fixed it and it seems that it's standard protocol to replace all MIM parts on the prodigy and you'll have a great pistol

Funny , most people grew up or started shooting 1911's long before striker fire pistols became popular , always fun for the range/ competition , duty ( in clean areas ) , otherwise they are not very reliable when compared to many other pistols today ...Only difference today than 113 years ago is capacity , and even less reliability due to higher tolerances -- marketing 😉

The main point of buying a Staccato is that you don't have to do any upgrades they are built for duty use.
@acoop9865

I can safely say the recoil on a 4.25 prodigy is noticeably lower than a Staccato P. So if you can get a Prodigy to be as reliable as a Staccato, you’ve got a better gun overall Imo (I only mention recoil and reliability because they’re virtually identical when it comes to other factors like accuracy, ergonomics, etc etc)

I have a 4.25 prodigy and no issues with 1,600 rounds so far. I love mine and want the 5inch bad. They are best of the $1,500 2011 and that is including the upgrades from CGW kit. Great video.

Technically Glocks strikers are not fully cocked that is why they don’t have the best triggers. However pretty much all other striker fired guns are 100 precocked.

Staccatos don't exactly have glock reliability, so that bar is relatively low.
