Springfield Prodigy 4.25"
Springfield Armory, Inc. · Pistol · In Production · 2022
Also known as: 1911 DS Prodigy 4.25", Prodigy 4.25 AOS, PH9117AOS
Overview
The Springfield Prodigy 4.25" is a semi-automatic pistol chambered in 9x19mm Parabellum, built on Springfield Armory's 1911 DS platform. It reworks the classic single-stack 1911 around a double-stack magazine, feeding from flush-fit 17-round and extended 20-round magazines while retaining the crisp single-action trigger the platform is known for. The 4.25-inch model pairs a forged carbon-steel slide and frame with a polymer grip module and a match-grade bull barrel, giving a shorter, more carry-friendly package than the full-size 5-inch Prodigy. The optics-ready slide uses Springfield's Agency Optic System (AOS) plate array to mount a wide range of red-dot sights, complemented by a fiber-optic front and serrated rear iron sight. An integral accessory rail, ambidextrous thumb safety, and two-piece full-length guide rod round out a feature set aimed at competition and defensive shooters who want high capacity in a proven 1911 form factor.

Background
