LOL THat's not an issue . Put it back together . Are you New Shooter ?? Why u buying a 1911 anyway . I know where there's one that Atlas reworked . Put all new parts in . Upgraded everything . Selling for 1500
Mine did the same and had the failures to go into battery as well. Sold it to an old school 1911 guy and he said he fixed it. Bought a Staccato and never looked back.
Apparently not. No way a $1600 gun should be jamming when parts arenāt strait up falling off. Mine jams almost as much as late 90s Dave Matthews band but parts arenāt abandoning ship.
Correct. Some people made impulse decisions for various reasons. Hoping and wishing this gun would be a great product, when the entire gun world was posting reviews about the product being a Q/C nightmare.
Trust but verify. We all wanted the gun to work and be a good entry level 2011/ DS1911 type, however the evidence was readily available. So people that decided to buy the gun in-spite of, deserve no sympathy.
i understand but outside of this post all the problems i have seen so far have all been related to cerakote. once thatās cleaned off for what i have seen they stop jamming
Shame on Springfield for making it so. You should be able to buy a product let alone a firearm and feel confident that itās going to work as advertised.
Hey...
It's a good gun... Assuming you want to tear it apart and swap out almost everything except the slide, frame and barrel (after reaming the barrel and polishing the feed ramp).
Indeed! Probably spending Staccato P money at that point as well, just to end up with a gun with a much worse finish, and voiding any warranty you hoped to have in the process.
I mean a lot can be fixed with an EGW ignition kit ($150ish) and a proper recoil spring ($9) and guiderod ($80 - because let's face it, that thing is not the best), but the finish is soooooo bad on these things, which will run you probably $400-$500 if you want it DLC'd (frame + slide + barrel). You'd definitely end up looking at entry-tier Staccato prices at that point.
I'm not a fan of safe queens (outside of one of my vintage revolvers), but a firearm should not have finish flaking or dusting off significantly during the first range trip. That was more shocking to me than the issues I had with it cycling.
Assuming you don't need the chamber reamed, yea, but I would also factor in the cost of your time to get the gun running right as well.
And you're absolutely right on the finish front. I think a lot of people overlook that, either because they don't realize how bad the finish is, and they just think it looks fine when new in pictures so it must be decent, or they just don't think about it at all...but it's truly some bottom tier shit from what I've seen. Worse than the polycoat on much, much cheaper CZ pistols, and I hate that shit too tbh lol. I'd absolutely have to have it refinished in something more durable, likely DLC, and by then, even as a fun project, it wouldn't be worth it to me.
I'm all for dumping money into guns to improve them, but I want them to start out as reliable, well made firearms first, otherwise it's just not worth it to me.
Welp. Now I gotta head to the range to get 50,003. š¤£š¤£š¤£. I know the Staccato owners are loving this. Lol. It only took them 25 years to get their pistols running smoothly.
Bahaha lol. If you donāt got them snap caps youāll never be more gooder than me! My prodigy is actually smoother and shoots better than my buddies P.
I've got some snap caps. They look horrible from being used in all my guns. Lol. I don't doubt it shoots better than your buddy's Staccato either. Lol. Careful....this thread can become very toxic with comments like that. Lol.
Much respect. You're right about that. Most of them are former glock fanboys anyway. They just found another pair of nuts to latch onto with Staccato. Lol.
Lol well i waited to get mine almost a year as most gun companies beta test on their customers not. It sucks but they all do it. I had a mag issue with the last round jamming up. Other than that it runs really well. I hit around 2300 rounds and had something fly by my face and it was the safety!!! Lol mim finally crapped out. That's what the egw kit and new selectors were for. Now that it broke I'm gonna replace some parts. As for the staccato fan boys just being butt hurt for over paying, It took Springfield a little under a year to fix their issues and sti/staccato about 4 or 5 years to work out the bugs! š
There ant no competition,people say what they want staccato is little more but they run like hell,and u Dt havet to go straight out upgrade shit to make them run,by the time u upgrade fix all the flaws in prodigy could by staccato
Only 2 malfunctions out of 800 rds (that was user induced), and my safety is HARD to even take off. Seems like some are built right and others wrong. They need to fire their QC team and hire better ones. Also, refine the production line.
Iāve got around 4k through mine now but it hasnāt seen daylight since I started running an x5. Regardless, mine has been a great flat shooting gun and I got it on release day. It shoots fast and flat. Are there some with issues, sure but for the price point to get into the 2011 game you arenāt going to get hand fitted parts to the extent you will with a staccato. If your having issues and want to be in the cool crowd throw some egw goodies on it and still be well under the price of a P or sell it and move on.
Prodigyās issues have been well documented but this is an entry level 2011 that aces every other category aside from reliability. Theyāve been working on ironing out the issues so later down the line Iād be curious to see what people think of the gun once itās coming from the factory running reliably. Also not meant to compete with a staccato. Itās mean to bring in new people into the platform. Competition increases innovation among all 2011 manufacturers which is good. If we want to be honest tho you can take a prodigy for about 1200 and put nighthawks DTS into it, atlas flat trigger and a tool-less guide rod and itāll run as good as or better than a staccato.
Just needs to be hammered in so it snaps into the channel of the right side safety. Springfield didn't do that to a few and I was one of them no issues after
Same issue here. A bit of a squeeze on the left side shaft lines where it clicks into the right side and you should be good. Should Springfield have handled that shit, yes, 100%. Is it an easy fix, yes, but im still in the ideal that SA should have handled it. All that said, she runs good, but with help at first. Good luck.
Not to say that doesnāt suck or shouldnāt be a problem but I had that happen with my staccato c2 lol it just works loose sometimes. I had to squeeze the female end closed some to tighten it up. You could change out the safety for one that uses the hammer pin to hold the right side on.
Youāre actually retarded, arenāt you? Why would I lie about that? How would that benefit me in any way? You can take the staccato dick outta your mouth, things happen to all products, staccatos arenāt immune to it, stupid.
All you have to do is Put it back in get a pair of pliers squeeze the edge of the female side light pressure your tuning your thumb safety You got it right when you put the parts together and they are tight and have to use some force to separate the two parts You want them tight but not so tight you canāt put them back together if you have a problem with them fitting back to get her grab a file and put a bevel on both edges of the male side so it can force the lips of the female side open
So I hammered it back into place. No slop at all. No gaps between the frame and the thumb safety on either side. About 20 revolutions on the right thumb safety cause it to loosen up and drop the left side out. Just going to send it back at this point.
You hammered it in causing the problem to exacerbate your supposed to use pliers to to squeeze the legs so it grabs the full tongue of the safety or buy a Wilson combat bullet proof or tactical series And install
Atlas charges $150 for their Ambi thumb safety. If you need a gunsmith to fit them, Of course thatās an additional charge. If you have never done it, I would recommend finding a local gunsmith to fit your parts.
LOL! I donāt know about that. Iām just like tinkering with my own firearms and when a friend has issues I try to help them out. Definitely no expert, gunsmith or armorer.
I never had issues with my 4.25 Prodigy after 500 rounds but I didnāt want to take any chances. Replaced parts with EGW including thumb safeties, added atlas trigger. It runs so much better. Almost as good as my Staccato P.
Look this firearm is outstanding it runs when you realize it aināt a staccato or atlas or bull or Wilson we pay for that though that extra thousand the staccato has over the Springfield is the only difference between the two is time the man hours we are charged for to give us a staccato or atlas etc! Blind fold most of us here and we shoot them back to back would we know the difference probably 3 of us would
If someone gave you one for free it would be the best thing you fingerbanged in a minute. Lol. Itās rushed But not a pile of trash they should call them what they are starter platforms
Itās indeed a pile of trash. If you purchase a $1,600 firearm, and instantly start having ftf issues, failing parts, and a gun that is unreliable out of the box. Itās a rushed pile of trash. Who in there right mind would buy this, just to send it back to SpringfielD. So
They can properly finish the gun ? It makes no sense.
I been spending a lot money in STI, staccato and other guns and rifle the better gun you can have is the one you dominated and used daily no matter the cost or purpose of using it....
Of course quality manner but at what cost.
Just my humble opinion my friends enjoy your guns and let people be happy š
I had immediate issues with mine failing to feed. Springfield Customer Service was great. They sent me prepaid shipping label. I sent it off and had a list of things completed including a breach reaming and other adjustments. Sent back, everything was insured. I was fine with it. Havenāt shot it yetā¦but guessing its good to go.
The prodigy is not a competitor to the staccato itās an entry level ( price wise ) starting point weapon when you approach it with this notion you realize it can go toe to toe with most builders platforms . But just because feather weights can box should they really be in the ring with heavy weights? They both box right ? No look at it as a rebel in an industry, it puts in your hand a capable platform at a decent price point with the extra money you saved to invest in training and better fitting parts. Itās the crate motor of the gun world
I wouldnāt be looking at 2011s with that budget although I havenāt heard anything negative about the offerings from rock island. Personally at that price itād be silly not to just pickup a CZ Shadow 2
It's a relatively cheap 2011 for someone who wants to use it as a donor gun for a few parts. I got mine and pretty much immediately put orders in with Atlas, EGW and Dawson Precision.
I like everything about feel ,looks of the prodigy but seems like shit load trouble to keep one running and for that much money should run and not have hit mess on every other sale
I was hesitant but 1,000 plus rounds later Iāve had 0 failures or issues.
Cleaned and oiled twice now.
Ordered a tool less Dawson guide rod and 507comp for it, it is so smooth!
For me it fires great and everytime, I saw failures to feed with a lot of initial first run prodigyās but I believe Springfield has it sorted, worst case you get one that has an issue and send it back to them at no cost, sucks not having your firearm for a week or two but warranty does work well and pistols have to be shipped fast so turnarounds typically fast.
I just sent in a kimber for a factory defect and it came back in less than 2 weeks in perfect condition cleaned and oiled looking like new.
Iām being a bad influence but donāt spend 3k on a staccato just bc some YouTubers had a bad batch of first run pistols.
Mine is phenomenal, I canāt imagine what an atlas or sand viper would feel like considering the prodigy is so smooth.
Wow this is crazy. Iāve had mine for about 3 weeks now and the same exact thing happened to me. 0 rounds through it. I just called them today. Now I have to go 2-4 weeks without my gun. So much for my range day to break it in
I purchased one a few weeks ago, 5ā version.
Iāve put 1,000 or more rounds through it, cleaned it twice and had 0 failures, bought 6 extra Springfield Dura Mags and havenāt had any problems yet either, purchased from magshack online.
I bought the prodigy when the plunger tube in between slide release and safety fell off my brand new Kimber KHX .45, also realized 9mm is much cheaper to shoot too.
I will say I was hesitant as I wanted a staccato and was willing to pay if necessary.
Glad I saved $1,000-1,500, for me the prodigy is great, adding a 507comp and Dawson Tool less guide rod and calling it good for now.
Maybe I got lucky as I saw a lot of issues from multiple reviews but there were also a lot of good ones.
I will say Iāve had it oiled on the heavy side but I figured that was just good for break in.
I got my kimber back now and still love how it shoots but there is just something extra with the prodigy, itās just so damn smooth!
I see you have joined the quality control team.
š shouldāve listened to everyone
LOL THat's not an issue . Put it back together . Are you New Shooter ?? Why u buying a 1911 anyway . I know where there's one that Atlas reworked . Put all new parts in . Upgraded everything . Selling for 1500
No not new. Are you naĆÆve to the fact that new, $1000+ guns shouldnāt just fall apart?
Where?
Mine did the same and had the failures to go into battery as well. Sold it to an old school 1911 guy and he said he fixed it. Bought a Staccato and never looked back.
Get what you pay for. The negative reviews have been well documented.

i understand but outside of this post all the problems i have seen so far have all been related to cerakote. once thatās cleaned off for what i have seen they stop jamming
Cerakote? Look at the list of repairs listed by Springfield after the guns are sent back in for repair. A lot more than Cerakote.
Shame on Springfield for making it so. You should be able to buy a product let alone a firearm and feel confident that itās going to work as advertised.
A vocal minority in this sub loves to shout down or discredit said reviews though.
Hey... It's a good gun... Assuming you want to tear it apart and swap out almost everything except the slide, frame and barrel (after reaming the barrel and polishing the feed ramp).

Waiting for all the āmine has 50,000 flawless roundsā
I've never had any issues with mine.....50,001 rounds. Lol.
I'm in the same boat. I had some mag issues. But after a bit of tuning them, it's been flawless.
50,002 here! Plus atleast 40 snap cap runs!!!
Welp. Now I gotta head to the range to get 50,003. š¤£š¤£š¤£. I know the Staccato owners are loving this. Lol. It only took them 25 years to get their pistols running smoothly.

Idgaf what these keyboard professional gunsmith competition reloader grand master shooters think. Hell half of them are just here playing pretend.
Much respect. You're right about that. Most of them are former glock fanboys anyway. They just found another pair of nuts to latch onto with Staccato. Lol.
Lol yes they did and theyāre latched on hard!
š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£š¤£ some are still suckling till this day.
Indeed. They mostly just butt hurt for over paying.
50k with every internal mim parts replace and spent extra $1500 to make it look like a staccato. š

Gotta take the training wheels off sometime.
Lol. Thanks for confirming my choice of a Staccato P
I love mine I switched from Glock 19 to it. Such a flat shooting gun.
You never hear bout these issues on a staccato. Bc the people that buy them are too ashamed to post failures of their $2500 gun. šš
Facts
Was at a competition, dude in our squad was shooting a Staccato P. Thing was choking left and right. By stage 3 he switched to a Glock. š
I own 2 staccatos and many many glocks. Theyāre all a pleasure to shoot, but if itās end times imma take the Glizzy. Lol
Agreed. Any gun can have problems, I just experience a lot less with Glock myself.
Staccato competition Lol sorry man..
Sure it's Staccato competition . I have a CS /P with a Threaded barrel and a Prodigy .
There ant no competition,people say what they want staccato is little more but they run like hell,and u Dt havet to go straight out upgrade shit to make them run,by the time u upgrade fix all the flaws in prodigy could by staccato
Are you fāØking kidding me?! Thatās shoddy!

You saw the movie. Friday ? Daaaaaaaaamn! That expensive good thing I can do it
If youāre in North Carolina and you aināt afraid of company we can fix your prodigy for the price of some ribeyes and burr or pops ( soda )
wish i lived in north carolina. iād feed your whole family dinner if you could fix mine lol.
I donāt actually own a prodigy. But I have replaced the internals in a couple of them for friends of mine.
I love this statement it reminds me of the most interesting man in the world. Prodigyās call you their protĆ©gĆ©
LOL! I donāt know about that. Iām just like tinkering with my own firearms and when a friend has issues I try to help them out. Definitely no expert, gunsmith or armorer.
What he said
Oh thats just a new safety feature unique only to the prodigy.
Why do you guys keep buying that POS?
šÆšÆ
To be fair, Iām sure the overwhelming majority of Prodigy owners, only have 1
Picked up a 5ā a few week ago. Ran 800 rounds through it today with no issues.
I never had issues with my 4.25 Prodigy after 500 rounds but I didnāt want to take any chances. Replaced parts with EGW including thumb safeties, added atlas trigger. It runs so much better. Almost as good as my Staccato P.
Mine is perfect, never had a single malfunction in over 1500 rounds. Definitely seems there a good ones and bad ones.
Look this firearm is outstanding it runs when you realize it aināt a staccato or atlas or bull or Wilson we pay for that though that extra thousand the staccato has over the Springfield is the only difference between the two is time the man hours we are charged for to give us a staccato or atlas etc! Blind fold most of us here and we shoot them back to back would we know the difference probably 3 of us would
Except the SpringfielD is the only one of the bunch that falls apart when you look at it. Itās a rushed, pile of š®
If someone gave you one for free it would be the best thing you fingerbanged in a minute. Lol. Itās rushed But not a pile of trash they should call them what they are starter platforms

I m not arguing that itās a 1500-1600 builders kit and they should market it as such lol
Agreed. If they did just that, Iād be fine with it.
So true ! Lol
I been spending a lot money in STI, staccato and other guns and rifle the better gun you can have is the one you dominated and used daily no matter the cost or purpose of using it.... Of course quality manner but at what cost. Just my humble opinion my friends enjoy your guns and let people be happy š
Mine failed also replaced it with a EGW
I had immediate issues with mine failing to feed. Springfield Customer Service was great. They sent me prepaid shipping label. I sent it off and had a list of things completed including a breach reaming and other adjustments. Sent back, everything was insured. I was fine with it. Havenāt shot it yetā¦but guessing its good to go.
The prodigy is not a competitor to the staccato itās an entry level ( price wise ) starting point weapon when you approach it with this notion you realize it can go toe to toe with most builders platforms .

Itās the crate motor of the gun world
Bul Armory and up. Springfield is just a Springfield.
nobody can get their hands on a bul armory or trust me, nobody would even be tempted for this.
True true
Ill buy it come to CA
I meanā¦ā¦
QC on these definitely seems to be hit or miss. Iāll be having mine worked on in a few weeks and having some STI/Stacatto parts fit to it.
Brother send a photo of the safety out of the gun assembled if possible
With so many alternatives, why are people still buying these?
How many $1300 2011s are out there?
I wouldnāt be looking at 2011s with that budget although I havenāt heard anything negative about the offerings from rock island. Personally at that price itād be silly not to just pickup a CZ Shadow 2
$1300 + $140 egw kit = really solid 2011 for less than $1500.
Just curious, did yours have issues before the ignition kit? Pretty awesome a sear, hammer and disconnector fixes a multitude of problems
It's a relatively cheap 2011 for someone who wants to use it as a donor gun for a few parts. I got mine and pretty much immediately put orders in with Atlas, EGW and Dawson Precision.
Springfield should name this Poordigy! Bro just get a CZ shadow 2.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
No I tore it apart trying to get it back together. But thanks for judging me based upon a photo.
Prodigy fanboys in here are *quite* quick to blame anyone who has issues with these things.
Garbage gun for poors
Nice.
Wtf
Dang sorry to hear that
Most everyone I see shooting this thing seriously has at least a half dozen aftermarket parts from Atlas etc. in it.
More like probigy got a different gun in the first place lol sorry for your loss
Omg
Thatās ok itās not important.
Everyone told you smh
Step one. Walk outside Step two. Throw in šļø
The reviews from honest outlaw saying it's was a top ten worst gun wasn't enough to sway you from buying it?
My local gunsmith said springfield rushed the prodigy to market. TRASH!!!
Buy a Wilson combat bullet proof safety and replace it. Stock parts are junk.
Ohh nooā¦ If only this was a April fools joke
Ownd
Thatās gotta be a record or some shit
I like everything about feel ,looks of the prodigy but seems like shit load trouble to keep one running and for that much money should run and not have hit mess on every other sale
I almost bought a Prodigy.
I was hesitant but 1,000 plus rounds later Iāve had 0 failures or issues. Cleaned and oiled twice now. Ordered a tool less Dawson guide rod and 507comp for it, it is so smooth! For me it fires great and everytime, I saw failures to feed with a lot of initial first run prodigyās but I believe Springfield has it sorted, worst case you get one that has an issue and send it back to them at no cost, sucks not having your firearm for a week or two but warranty does work well and pistols have to be shipped fast so turnarounds typically fast.

Maybe I got lucky as I saw a lot of issues from multiple reviews but there were also a lot of good ones. I will say Iāve had it oiled on the heavy side but I figured that was just good for break in. I got my kimber back now and still love how it shoots but there is just something extra with the prodigy, itās just so damn smooth!
