Springfield prodigy build

[Esam85]

I'm starting a thread to show you all the progress of the build DSC gunworks is currently doing for me. The gun started as a 5" prodigy full of all the MIM in the world and it is quickly turning into a high end 2011.

The first modification was a gen 1 Staccato grip stippled by McMullen stipple works in Puyallup. Brandon does first class work as simple or complex as you need with quick turnaround's.

Next I sent the grip, frame and slide to DSC out in Michigan. Dave also does some Class A work also with turn around times that would make your head spin. Here are the guns and parts layout for the start of work.
It's getting a full overhaul with only the slide and frame remaining stock.

I'm just learning about the 2011 world, so excuse my question if the answer is obvious.

Why buy a budget 2011 then upgrade it to a "high end" one as opposed to buying a better one to begin with?

Just curious.

Look forward to watching the masterpiece unfold

I'm curious as well. What is the cost difference between a top end one vs starting with a Springer?

The springer has a surprisingly great slide to frame fit, and I like to send guns off to make them how I want. Similar to when I send a colt out to have a 1911 smith build it. I'll be into this gun about 800 less than an XC and 1700 less than a bare bones custom starting.

The next phase was cutting the slide and machining the new integrated comp to match the slide.

Last post until it is finished and in hand!
The arrow serrations have been milled on top and everything ready to be coated!
I had to class up the tactical look with the serrations a little.

Alright Dave sent the final pictures and it's on its way home Range report to follow!

Very nice !!!!!
Are those the original grips that were modified, or is that aftermarket?
Come down my way and I will be happy to help you break it in.

It has a gen1 staccato grip that was stippled. I traded the guy who stippled my grip for the factory grip plus some cash. He wanted a grip to practice on as it would be his first of that style.

Looks like he did a good job

He does amazing work.
If you don't mind me asking. How long did it take and how much did that cost for just the mods

It was quick like less than a couple weeks. I'm into Dave about 2500 on the gun if I remember correctly.

Nice new adult toy! What is the intended role for this unique beast?

Would love to see a video of it in action it truly is a work of art

Mainly a range toy for me, it's probably the pistol I shoot the most.
