The Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm Pistol in the 4.25-inch COA configuration (brand part no. PH9117COA) reworks the classic 1911 platform around a double-stack magazine and ships with a factory-mounted Aimpoint COA red dot for optics-ready carry out of the box. Springfield Armory built the DS Prodigy’s polymer grip module onto a forged steel frame, holding 18+1 rounds of 9mm — nearly double a traditional single-stack 1911’s capacity — while keeping the crisp single-action trigger the platform is known for. The 4.25-inch barrel and ambidextrous safety make it a capable everyday-carry or duty pistol. Among semi-auto handguns, this DS Prodigy favors 1911 shooters who want modern double-stack capacity with a factory-mounted red dot.
