The Springfield Armory Prodigy Compact 9mm Gear Pac shrinks the double-stack 1911 DS into a carry-focused package with a 4.25-inch barrel (Springfield Armory part no. PH9116AOS-PAC). Springfield Armory mounts a compact polymer grip module to a lightweight aluminum frame, then adds a shortened beavertail and a recontoured hammer to cut the footprint. The Gear Pac includes a factory-installed Viridian RFX11 green dot with Instant-On technology and a 30,000-hour runtime, four 15-round magazines and a heavy-duty nylon zippered pistol bag. The result is an everyday-carry 1911 that arrives with its optic already mounted.
