The Prodigy was my first and only 2011 (so far). I've had it for 3yrs and 2500rds and have done a number of upgrades to it in the last year. At this point, the only Springfield parts besides the slide/frame are the internals, safety, and hammer. This thing has been pretty reliable overall and has been an absolute joy to shoot, especially now with all the upgrades:

-DSC Gunworks barrel/MR1 Comp
-Miller Precision Frame, pinned grip safety, magwell
-Impact Machine Plate
-Red Dirt Trigger
-Cosaint Slide Release
-EGW Enhanced Guide Rod

Coming from striker fired guns this thing feels like a cheat code, as it's very easy to shoot well. Very happy with this thing!

My first was also a 4.25” prodigy.  It was like a cheat code it shot so well.
My only gripe was when I first got it it would run like a scalded ape for 50 shots then get slower.  It was the ceracoat sludge.

Once that wore down smooth as butter.
If life was easy nobody would quit.

Yeah I didn’t have that issue fortunately but I’ve definitely heard about it!
