I have a relatively low round count CK open gun I bought new in 2016. I shot it for a little more than a year, then got another open gun, then switched divisions and haven't used this one much. I know there was a time where a lot of slides were cracking and heard the problem described as a "bad bunch of slides." My gun has a early serial number 017X and was told this was built before the bad slides. Well I just learned about a gun builder suing a barrel manufacture and distributer for selling barrels that were out of hardness spec and it was barrel stress/flex causing the slides to fail. Not trying to bad mouth anyone but looking for info. I did some googling and could not find any details. Do I need to quit shooting this gun and have a new barrel fitted?

What was the video? Are you saying the prodigy and mbx mags need spacers like the old gen 1 sti tubes?

I've tried them all in open. Bigger is better? old cmore sits too high. 510 feels a bit too big body wise. RTS2 is nice and used them for a long time. But the sig xl is what I liked best. Feels like the perfect size window/body and super bright dot. I just switch the SRO off prodigy for a 507 comp. I really like it but if someone makes a plate to squeeze a sig xl on the prodigy I bet I slap one there too. But for the money 507 comp will be hard to beat if they don't get tore up easy

It helped. I shot a steel match with the 147s and had one FTE. Then I switched to 125tc blues @1.10" and shot a uspsa match that was close to 300 rounds with 0 issues. Well gun issues...

This makes sense. I unusually shoot weekly. I had noticed rounds sounding like I was shifting gears sometimes. Like maybe I got a different brand ammo or mini mag in the loader. I am sure its been the rem oil soaked rounds from the previous week. In this case it was several weeks in between matches. Learned something else new today. Thank you

I did not pull any. What I suspect is happening is the oil is seeping into the case and I'm getting about 50% powder burn?

I was shooting rimfire pistol and using the McFadden cliploader at a steel challenge match this week. I spray the rounds with a squirt of rem oil to help them load into the mags easy. I still had partially loaded mags and 50+ rounds remaining in the clip loader from the last match I went to several weeks ago. First stage I could not get though a mag without having a weak round go off that would not work the action. RO and I stopped me because we thought I had a squib it was so quiet several times. I dumped the ammo out of the mags and cliploader, reloaded with fresh cci standard (same lot) and did not have an issue the rest of the evening. I went to the range the next day and took the chrono to shoot the rem oil coated rounds. Had several that came out of the gun slow. Like 435 fps slow. So my question is did leaving the rounds with some rem oil on them mess them up? Any one else experience this?

Speedsec. That's it! I remembered once I read it. I don't do much revo shooting since icore dried up around here 10+ years ago. Shoot steel occasionally and when people asked what I was using I didn't like saying I don't know. Thanks

Anyone know who made this? I got it used from a guy at a club I used to shoot Icore at about 15 years ago. It does not have any markings, numbers, logos or anything on it I can see.

If funding isn't a major deciding factor have Donnyglock or SVI build you something one off that is awesome, exactly what you want and beautiful. Or if you're a poor like myself the prodigy is fun

OK so I did Adams test and my gun did not pass. Not the first time I've tried to over complicate something simple. Thanks for the push in the correct direction

Crimp on my loads are 0.376 to 0.377

I have seen this in this gun a few times and every time the rim of the fired case is hooked on the mouth of the one below

I was thinking where the round in the mag moved very far forward the rim of the fired case caught the mouth of the case below. You can see where the extractor took a pretty good chunk out of the rim of the fired case. I am not seeing this happen with factory 115 ammo that is 1.1+ oal

I'm having to run 147 blues at 1.08 to get them to pass plunk in 4.25 prodigy. Running them this short the bullets move forward in the magazine. Oftentimes when I drop a partially loaded mag the top round strips out of the magazine. I think this very short overall length is causing this Jam because of the cartridges can move so far forward in the magazine. Anybody else seen a problem like this?

I have used the lab at night working up loads. Works prefect

A friend posted this on our gun buddy group text "Glock gen one through gen 5. Look at the innovation. It’s just oozing out of them."

Is that snow on the ground? As hot as it has been I kinda miss snow

Had mine for a couple weeks now and I'm probably just under 500 rounds. Shot my 4.25 in my first match today. Used the 2 factory mags and one MBX 140. Gun ran my 147gr RN blues/132PF loads perfectly. I am really starting to enjoy limited optics

What is it Two is one and one is none but with three...

I have a prodigy and was shopping around for new 140mm mags. Then remembered I have 3 old STI mags that came with my first 38 super open gun. I looked for spacers at shootersconn and they didn't have the SS ones so thought I will try shooting without them. All 3 mags worked fine in the Prodigy without spacers. These have STI factory followers and maybe even the original springs How thick are the spacers? And when 9mm fails in a mag without spacers what happens?

@shred Thank you for your help

Took about 15 mins worth of dremeling and test fitting. Had to cut back the the opening then thin the profile of the inside thickness of the mag well. Factory 20 an 17 round Prodigy mags seat easily without having to trim their base pads. I am pretty happy with the way this worked.

So has anyone trimmed up a dawson ice magwell to fit onto a prodigy? I keep thinking about doing it. I assume if I'd remove the thickness highlighted in yellow above that would be enough material to get the magwell onto the prodigy grip. I have 2 "dawson" magwells on other guns. One is on a plastic sti grip. The prodigy mags lock up there fine. The other has a cheely steel grip and prodigy mags won't seat in that magwell. Looks like using the EGW magwell the prodigy base pads will need to be trimmed https://www.egwguns.com/blog/2023/03/10/springfield-prodigy-quick-mag-well-fitting/ Anyone been down this road?

So how much meat needs cut out?
