@@dieseldylan6641 no one who’s a gun enthusiast has a base Glock . Base glocks aren’t as reliable or fun as modding out everything . Nothing wrong with a base glock but why not suit it up to the max to have good everything so by the end of you spending 5/6 on a gen 5 or 4 Glock you spend 5 plus on light,red dot or trigger , extended mag release , ghost spring etc the list is endless while the prodigy is only 1500

@@montymiller3832I’m pretty sure he’s being sarcastic. These things are pretty cool, but they’ve had their issues. Magazines were cited in reviews as problematic, as was the recoil spring for being too heavy which added up to frequent feeding/ejection issues with training ammo as well as hollow points. I’m not sure if Springfield has come out with an updated/retooled version of this, but if it were my money being spent I would stick with something more affordable and proven. Sig makes an SAO version of the P226, and the CZ Shadow 2 is an EXCELLENT DA/SA pistol for the same price plus/minus $150 as the Prodigy.

For what you pay for them to play with a 2011 type pistol, no one has done it better! I just finished putting 1k rounds through my new Springfield echelon and it also shows Springfield is getting it right and they needed to for their pittance after somewhat screwing over gun owners. Also they knew they had to keep their pricing competitive or people just might not have given them a second chance. My Hellcat pro is also proof they understood to make it in this world or really good weapons being produced by just about every firearms manufacturer they had to listen to gun owners inputs and they did.

@fortknoxpodcast have you done any reviews on the LFA AMP (Live Free Armory amp all aluminum frame)? Or have you done any comparisons with factory pistol vs one rebuilt with aftermarket parts to see if it really makes a difference considering the amount of money spent on aftermarket parts? Like I have a sig-sauer p365xl with Wilson combat lower and zaffiri precision slide (fiber optic iron sights) barrel and internals and sig-sauer Romeo zero rmr and or a sig-sauer p320 with killer Inovation slide barrel and Holosun green dot and factory lower. I ask because I have wondered if there is a difference between factory and aftermarket and if there is a difference/improvement is it a big enough improvement to justify the cost of adding aftermarket parts or is the difference only cosmetic? Ps I ask about the LFA AMP is because I have one and have a trijicon rmr mounted on it and again curious if a all aluminum frame (glock19/17) really that much better than a factory glock. Sry for all the questions I'm just curious and maybe you could make a video on the matter
