Part 2: Springfield Prodigy 4.25 Building the Oh Crap Gun -JHP Testing

To me, building the 'Oh Crap' Gun needs to start with shooting. Testing different ammo types and bullet shapes is a must. Doing so will point out early on the level of work that it will need. If the gun (in my case the Springfield Armory Prodigy 4.25") will eat everything that you put into it, then the world is your oyster. If not, you have to decide if you are going to fix it or go with what it likes. Your call.

After shooting, you'll have a good idea of what should or needs to be upgraded/changed in order to suit your needs. Do you have malfunctions, failure to feed, failure to extract, extraction issues, hang ups, uncomfortable control features, or any of the other myriad of potential items that may be an issue on your build. For me, I'm going to focus on reliability and comfortable to shoot. I don't want to overcome obstacles with the gun if an 'Oh Crap' situation occurs. And I'm sure there will be other stuff but we will cross that bridge when we get there.

Thanks for Watching!
