Springfield Armory® Announces Launch of 1911 DS Prodigy™ Comp AOS 9mm Pistols

Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the launch of the 1911 DS Prodigy™ Comp AOS 9mm in 5” and 4.25” variants. Both of these pistols are integrally compensated to reduce felt recoil and muzzle rise, and combine the most beloved characteristics of the 1911 with modern capacity for unrivaled performance.

The integral compensator on the Prodigy Comp is discreetly designed, featuring a single port on the top of the hammer-forged slide and barrel. By redirecting gas upwards, it reduces muzzle rise and enhances control, allowing for faster and more accurate follow-up shots. Additionally, the pistols feature a tritium front sight positioned behind the compensator to ensure an uninterrupted sight picture.

The Prodigy Comp takes the proven 1911 platform and enhances it with double-stack capacity and a performance-driven feature set. Configured around a double-stack magazine, the polymer grip module of the 1911 DS pistol mounts to a forged steel frame, offering capacities of 17+1 and 20+1.

To allow the ease of use of today’s most popular red dot optics, the Prodigy Comp features slides cut for AOS (Agency Optic System) plates. Developed in collaboration with Agency Arms, these billet steel plates deliver proper optic height for intuitive sight picture and instant target acquisition, and feature an integral rear sight. The Prodigy Comp ships with a HEX Dragonfly compatible plate as well as a cover plate, while additional optic-specific plates are available for purchase. You can find a full compatibility chart here.

“The Prodigy pistol has proven to be very popular with shooters looking for the appeal of the classic 1911, but with enhanced double-stack magazine capacity and modern features,” said Steve Kramer, Springfield Armory’s Vice President of Marketing. “The flat-shooting Prodigy Comp adds the benefit of reduced muzzle flip and faster follow-up shots to an already highly capable design.”

Each pistol comes with two magazines — one 17-round flush fit and one 20-round extended, with optional 26-rounders available for purchase. Both the 5” and the 4.25” models have an MSRP of $1,599. In addition, restricted locale 10-round variants of both models are available.
