Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy | 9mm | PH9117COA

The Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy is an optics-ready 1911-platform pistol built around a double-stack grip module and a 4.25″ match-grade barrel. It ships in a black Cerakote finish with a polymer grip module and an accessory rail for lights or lasers. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with this platform, consider the Aimpoint Micro T-2 for a durable, clear red-dot sight that co-witnesses effectively with the Prodigy’s sighting setup. Typical applications include everyday carry (EDC) and practical/range shooting.
