New For 2024: Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy Coyote Brown
Springfield Armory entered the double-stack M1911-style handgun market in a big way with its 1911 DS Prodigy, and now, there are four new models of the Prodigy, all of which feature a coyote-brown finish. The slide and frame are finished with a coyote-brown Cerakote finish, and the polymer grip module features a matching coyote-brown color. Black accents are found throughout the gun, notably on the AOS optics system cover plate, barrel, bilateral thumb safety, trigger, magazine release, slide-stop lever, hammer and beavertail grip safety.
All four models in the coyote-brown Springfield Armory Prodigy lineup are chambered for 9 mm Luger. A full-size version with a 5″ barrel is available, as well as a compact model with a 4.25″ barrel. Additionally, two separate models for states with magazine-capacity restrictions will also be available, one full-size and one compact. The low-capacity models will ship with two magazines that are restricted to 10 rounds each. Standard-capacity models will ship with one 17-round magazine and one 20-round magazine.

One of the salient features of the Springfield Armory 1911 DS Prodigy is its use of the Agency Optic System. Without an optic mounted, a black cover plate utilizes a dovetailed rear sight. Removing the cover plate reveals a footprint compatible with a number of adapter plates, and a single Shield RMSc-compatible plate ships with each Prodigy. Additional optic plates are available through Springfield Armory’s store, including models that accommodate Trijicon, Leupold, Aimpoint and Holosun red-dot optics.
In American Rifleman’s Dope Bag review (read here), our evaluator found that the Prodigy “…is more than ready for competition or self-defense” and that “the Prodigy’s solid, hand-filling grip, weight and superb balance made one- and two-hand shooting simple and comfortable.” Pricing on Springfield’s coyote-brown models of the Prodigy is $1,549.
