After you, a gunsmith, or Springfield Armory fixes your Prodigy 1911 DS (and same with any upgrades/upgrading) you should always perform a test fire and see how it functions. The purpose of this particular 4.25" Prodigy is to be my Oh Crap gun. I have to figure out what ammunition it can handle flawlessly and what to avoid. FMJ is good for practice firing but the real test is with jacketed hollow points (JHP). The Mega Test consists of JHP weights 115gr, 124gr, 135gr, and 147gr and from every manufacture that was on the shelf at my local store. I even found some 150gr FMJ's to try. I wanted as many different designs and sizes to test the work that I did and so you could see any potential issues that you might have with your Prodigy.

A couple of key things to know about this 4.25" SA Prodigy.
Main Upgrades:
Atlas Gunworks- Curved Short Trigger, One Piece Guiderod
EGW Ignition Kit w/ 19lb mainspring, Hardened Pin Kit
ISMI 12.5 LB recoil spring
Wolff Extra Power firing pin spring
Wilson Combat Bullet Proof firing pin
10-8 Performance Slide Stop
Ed Brown Extractor (it was the EGW HD extractor but I changed last minute, was having an issue with it)
I think that is most if not all...

Main Fixes:
Finished Reamed the Chamber and polished
Feed Ramp polishing
De-burr firing pin hole
