I have both duramags and Atlas in 17 and 21. I use the dura mags when I want the slide to lock back and the atlas all other tmes. So far 7 or 8 thousand rounds and no issues...

Thanks everyone for the input.... still not sure what I am going to do but probably will not include a casefeeded for a 550 .

Thinking about a casefeeder for my 550. I am guessing I can pick up a little speed with one. Thought about a 750 with all the trimmings but the $$$ scared me away given all the accessories I'd need to handle the different calibers I shoot. (38/357,9mm,40.45acp possibly 556. Can anyone share actual expierence with what you have and guidance with what I should get ... Inquiring minds need to know

I ran a bunch of measurements and decided that 1.140 is about where the prodigy likes it, my X5 I can load out to 1.165 or so and no issues so I think we are going to stick to 1.14 for a while... Joe

Trying some Blue 147's in my prodigy, curious about what LOA do you guys think works well. Am basically to 126-127 PF and currently running 1.130 ... Inquiring minds want to know ;0

CMC,Metalform and MecGar all made 10 or 11 rnd mags for single stacks... back in the 90's is was not unusual to see guys running single stack 1911's in 45 acp shooting limited.. I still have a small pile of them in my gun safe..

Has anyone come up with a solution for putting Adjustable Iron Sights on a stock Prodigy sight plate ???? Why they chose those dovetail dimensions I'll never understand..

Me too Sharko, I am going to ask Springfield if they will sell me a Iron Sight Plate and if yes I will have the dovetali welded uo and remilled to a bomar or novak cut...

Pretty sure... but I could be wrong.. it happened once before..

I am looking to replace the fixed rear on the Irons Plate with something adjustable. Springfield got back to me with the dimensions "The rear sight cut is- .194” cut X 40-degree x .419” tall". So now looking for someone who makes a sight to match that cut.... don;t think it is a Novak...

Does anyone know of a rear adjustable sight that you can put on a Prodigy ??? Like what the dimensions of the rear dove tail are ?? Inquiring minds want to know...

Thanks for the insights Trip to the range tomorrow... I put a little tension on the extractor so we shall see ...

I have a old school Para P-14 that has the most annoying issue. For any loads I shoot (major/minor) 200 LSWC/230/250's the gun will trap the brass from the last round between the slide and the barrel hood. This only happens on the last round in the mag. I happens on all of my mags and I typically use grahams followers and springs, typically a 14# recoil spring for 165+ power factor and 11# for any minor loads. For 200's I load to 1.240 230 I load to 1.250 and for 250s I load to 1.185 Any insight into these issues and how to resolve them will be appreciated.

Pretty much what everyone else is saying.. Corn Cob and any decent polishing product for brass .. then set it and forget it for a while .....

I haven't run Clays.. .but I ran AA#2 for years behind 200's, gun runs nice and pretty clean, am sure there is info out there for Clays as well.
