Springfield Armory® is proud to announce the launch of the 1911 DS Prodigy™ Comp AOS 9mm in Coyote Brown Cerakote®. Offered in 5” and 4.25” variants, 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.
Cerakote has become the gold standard for gun parts with an advanced formulation that has virtually eliminated the need to oil the exterior for corrosion protection. This innovative coating not only enhances the durability and performance of firearms, but also offers significant benefits in terms of longevity and ease of care. The Coyote Brown Cerakote finish of the slide and frame of these 1911 DS Prodigy Comp pistols matches up with a Coyote Brown polymer grip module, complemented by black controls and a black diamond like carbon (DLC) coated match grade bull barrel.
The integral compensator of the Coyote Brown 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.
The Coyote Brown 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 (as well as 10-round variants for restricted locales).
To allow the ease of use of today’s most popular red dot optics, the Prodigy Comp pistols feature slides cut for AOS (Agency Optic System) plates. 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. You can find a full compatibility chart here.
“The 1911 DS Prodigy gives shooters a pistol with the appeal of the classic 1911, but one featuring enhanced double-stack magazine capacity and modern features,” said Steve Kramer, Springfield Armory’s Vice President of Marketing. “These flat-shooting Coyote Brown Prodigy Comp pistols add the benefit of reduced muzzle flip and faster follow-up shots along with a highly popular color option.”
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” variants have an MSRP of $1,649. Restricted locale 10-round variants of both models are also available for the same MSRP.
