Overview

The SPRINGFIELD ARMORY 1911 DS PRODIGY AOS takes the time-tested 1911 platform and modernizes it with a double-stack frame that accepts 17 rounds in a full-size form factor. The design keeps a slim, comfortable grip while increasing capacity and retaining 1911-style controls like the manual thumb safety. The slide is cut for optics and features front and rear serrations for positive manipulation. Tritium iron sights are mounted, and the included Hex Dragonfly optic is preinstalled. A TLR-7X Streamlight on the picatinny rail gives immediate tactical lighting out of the box. The package includes a soft case and an extra magazine; the price is $1499.99.
