So,
First we saw Springfield Armory coming with the Prodigy, which I picked up and is my first 1911DS/2011.
We've seen 1911 double stacks before, for example from Rock Island and it didn't "pick up" and the reason why is, I believe, the fact that it does not match any of the regular 2011/1911DS successful in the market (i.e. 3-piece system)
Despite the Prodigy issues, it seems to be easy to work on it and accept a large amount of aftermarket parts making it a fairly good pistol for less money than a staccato.
Kimber got jealous and decided to jump in the game but I think going with a 2-piece system (slide and frame) is a mistake.
Opinions?!
