Springfield Armory PH9117AOSLC | 1911 DS Prodigy | 9mm | 4.25″

The Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy is a compact 1911-style double-stack pistol chambered in 9mm with a 4.25-inch match-grade bull barrel and an optics-ready slide. The design pairs a forged steel frame with a polymer grip module and ships with a HEX Dragonfly-compatible plate for mounting select miniature red-dot optics. Standard sights are a fiber-optic front and a black serrated rear; the pistol also includes two 10-round magazines.

For an optic under $1,000, consider the Trijicon RMR Type 2 as a robust, low-profile red dot that pairs well with many plate systems when the proper AOS plate is installed. Typical applications for this model include precision range work and competition-style shooting where a compact 1911 platform with optics is desirable.
