For serious target shooters who demand a handgun built to withstand heavy use while delivering consistent accuracy, design and materials matter. A full-size platform with a long sight radius and robust construction gives you the repeatability and control needed for precision work at the range.

SPRINGFIELD ARMORY DS PRODIGY is a full-size 9mm Semi Auto pistol engineered for strength and ergonomic control. The Prodigy features a forged steel slide and frame for maximum durability, coupled with a high-impact polymer grip module that employs a wraparound Adaptive Grip Texture for positive tactile engagement in any condition. This example is finished in FDE and shows almost no wear.

Design and Construction

The forged steel slide and frame set this model apart in the Semi Auto category; forged components resist deformation under repeated stresses better than cast or polymer slides. The 5in barrel provides an extended sight radius for tighter groups, and the hammer-fired action delivers a predictable, consistent trigger feel preferred by many precision shooters. Iron sights are installed with an optics cut ready for mounting a red dot if you choose.

Shootability and Ergonomics

Calibering the Prodigy in 9mm gives a balance of low recoil, economical ammunition, and excellent terminal ballistics for target practice and defensive drills. The 20rnd capacity supports extended sessions between reloads and is useful for competitive or training scenarios where round count matters. The high-impact polymer grip module with Adaptive Grip Texture is designed to maintain a secure hold through sweat, weather, and high round counts—important for consistent sight picture and follow-up shots.
