SPRINGFIELD'S NEW DS 1911 PRODIGY COMPACT
7-min read
Springfield Armory has just introduced the DS 1911 Prodigy Compact. Built on the double-stack 1911 platform they introduced in 2023, the new Compact version utilizes an aluminum frame, abbreviated grip safety, and a shortened grip module to provide the user with a compact 1911 that is perfect for concealed carry!

Realizing weight is a critical component of the concealed carry equation, Springfield decided to machine the frame of the Compact from 7075-T6 aluminum. The part is hard coat anodized and the Cerakoted black to match the gun’s slide.

The polymer grip module that mates with the aluminum frame has been shortened by about 4/10ths of an inch and Springfield ships the gun with two 15-round flush-fit magazines. Its magazine well is funneled and that makes speed reloads with the tapered mags fast and certain.

Ruger teamed up with Magpul to produce their interpretation of one of the most popular pistols ever produced. But while manufacturing its own version of the venerable G19, Ruger threw in a few upgrades of its own to show what can be done with the platform while still keeping the price at a very reasonable level for the average gun buyer.
