Um, most rifles I see, at least those intended for >100 yards, have scopes not dots. And the stuff that's intended for close range with a dot all have BUIS, for good reason.

Mag limit laws will be gone in the not too distant future. No way those are going to survive after Bruen. IL passed an "assualt weapon" and magazine ban a little over a week ago, and there's already a TRO issued blocking it, and about a half dozen other suits filed in state and federal court. I'm not going to go on in detail because it's OT, but bottom line is it's only a matter of time before they're gone. Getting back to production, I do think if the rules were changed to allow 140 mags and some minor modifications, you'd get a much larger turnout.

You can step up to a 1050 or 1100 and have a swage station as part of the rotation. Or get a Super Swage 600.

Well, that was the point from the prior post I quoted. And many others posted previously. But, aside from that, I agree with what you wrote. Lots or people are buying 9mm 2011s with dots. They should be able to play in CO if they want to. I just don't see the point of creating another division if it's also going to be minor pf and the only difference being that it allows SAO guns. Fair point. But, I don't recall a time when they haven't been trying to attract new shooters. Around here, we have so many new shooters, there are some significant downsides. I don't want to get into that here because it's too far off topic. But I'm willing to discuss offline or in a separate thread.

Seems the rumors of USPSA's impending death are a bit premature. All the L1 matches around here are sold out, usually with a pretty sizable wait list. And there isn't any realistic way to increase frequency or capacity. And, from what I understand, the National matches all sell out as well. So, I don't understand the constant push to attract new shooters when we can't even accommodate those we have now.

1. There are various grades of stainless steel. Many can and will rust. Some more than others. Depends on the composition of the steel. How much salt is in your sweat is also a big factor for something like a grip. 2. I typically shoot my guns in the white for a while before finishing and use Birchwood Casey Barricade or Sea Foam Deep Creep to prevent rust during that time. Both work extremely well. 3. I wouldn't worry too much about superficial surface rust because whoever does the finishing will probably media blast the grip before they apply the finish anyway, and that will remove any rust.

Wow!

Never heard of them, but they look interesting. Wonder how much testing they did. All those cuts in the slide could be a problem with major pf ammo and super light recoil springs.

You're saying it gets pinched in the small opening in the frame that's visible when the safety is in the up position? If that's the case, you might try adding material to the flat part on the safety so that it covers the opening. If it's a bar stock piece, you can MiG or TiG weld it to build up the area, then shape and dress as necessary. Might look kinda weird, but would be easy to do and should solve the problem.

Here it is. Not sure it's going to help, as it's mostly about fitting the shoe. Sounds like your problem is something with the stirrup. https://atlasgunworks.com/blog/springfield-prodigy-trigger

So, another immature, troll comment. Sorry I used an outdated term. I also said energy and guess maybe should have said ballistic performance or whatever term the Youtube experts are using now. Bottom line is, the more effective LEO loads are at the hotter end of the spectrum. Like the ISP load, which is widely regarded as one of the best, and has been for a long time. So, you can just keep digging while you try to make your point. And keep shooting your 125 pf girlie loads, happy in the knowledge that you're on the cutting edge of the hot new thing.

Assuming that was directed at me, it's actually pretty funny. I have handguns and rifles with dots on them, including a Prodigy, PCC and Marlin 1984. I built 9mm single stack and 2011 guns probably 10+ years ago, before they were even a thing. And I shoot all kinds of fun stuff with dots, irons, scopes, major, minor, handguns, rifles, shotguns, you name it. But, because I disagree with your opinion that reflex sights are the only way to go, I'm a Luddite. Right on, dude!

Rjracing's earlier post shows he fit an Atlas trigger w/no problem. If the Atlas works, the SV should work.

Unfortunately, the folks running the organization are intent on trying to draw more people. That's been going on for 30+ years. But now, to do that, you have to reduce barriers so we are more inclusive, which means making things easier and more accessible for those who don't want to meet certain equipment requirements, or take the time to become proficient with iron sights, or learn how to manage recoil, or basically most of the stuff the sport was founded on.

I'm for leaving major where it is. But, if the power that be are set on tinkering with it, a good compromise would be to do away with arbitrary caliber restrictions and go with a single power factor of 150 or 160. You can do that safely with 9, and the difference vs. 165 is negligible.

Argument is based on a false premise. Most LEO agencies that have gone to 9mm are using +P or +P+ loads (like Winchester Ranger) that are around 160pf. They are not shooting 125 pf loads like USPSA minor. In fact, they are borderline close to major, and some are even over 165 pf. So, the idea of the LEO market shift justifies minor only is out the window. Also, as was previously stated, accuracy is not the paramount concern for LEO-type ammo. They're actually more concerned with energy/stopping power, particularly since about 90+% of shootings are within 10 yards.

Seems strange it doesn't work as the internals should be the same as any other 2011. If the hammer/sear/disco function properly, you probably just need to adjust the bow to clear the mag tubes. Maybe measure the two parts to compare.

Basically a condescending and emotional response that's meaningless without context. Just because something is different or new doesn't mean it's better. Like has been discussed previously, there are positives and negatives to reflex sights. You seem to only see the positive. Yeah, like the RMR I bought that died for no reason. And the two other name brand optics that died after a couple thousand rounds. Or how about a real-world application failure. Like the replacement RMR, which I intended to use on a nightstand gun. Did a test where I woke up and grabbed the gun and the dot was so bright I was blinded, couldn't even look at it. Tried again next night. Same thing. Sent it back to Trijicon. Turns out, if you set it low, it reverts to the default setting. By design. Which renders the thing useless in low light situation. But, you know, the military picked it. So, must by the best there is, right? What a joke. That's just one example. Your statement was that reflex sights are superior in every way. They are not.

I can see why you're hot on CO. I guess the logical progression will be Limited/Production, CO, airsoft, video games. I mean, think of all the new "shooters" we can attract!! Even non-gun people! Grow the sport! It'll be awesome! This is complete BS. There are significant downsides to reflex sights, which have been discussed previously, so not going to repost all that again. But to say reflex sights are superior in every way is ridiculous.

At the rate things are going, in a couple years we'll have an airsoft division.

Why would they mandate a plastic grip? And why would they make the weight 47 v. 59 for others? Both seem arbitrary and dumb. Also, per the rules, you can't pin the grip safety.

Pretty dumb comment coming from a bullet company. Taper crimp on .40 SW (or any semi-auto round) should do absolutely nothing when it comes to "hold[ing] the bullet in place." That's accomplished by sizing the brass adequately so you have an interference fit. If you're relying on crimp to do that, you're doing it wrong. My coated SNS 9mm bullets have two lube grooves and no lube. The loaded rounds are crimped in between the two grooves. And they are just as accurate as my jacketed bullets.

The Prodigy has a good quality forged slide and frame with a decent fit for a production gun. The barrel is also decent quality, and the ones I've seen, including mine, were fit and timed correctly. The chambers could benefit from running a finish reamer through it and feed ramp polish. But mine ran fine before I did either. For the price, I think it's a solid deal. You can put a couple hundred bucks and a little time and effort into one and end up with a nice gun that's accurate, reliable and fun to shoot. And should be competitive in either LO or CO if they allow it. It's also a good base for a custom build like I did. Either way, you'll end up with a great gun for the money. Aside from the titanium grip, which was pretty pricey, I have less into mine than what a Steccato cost, and I'd take my Springfield over one of those any day of the week.

Basically, I had no issues with it from the get go. Put a couple hundred through it in stock form and it ran fine with various types of ammo and magazines. Then did a few minor mods and put a couple hundred more through it. Then did a full custom build and had it refinished. I replaced just about everything expect for the slide, frame and barrel. Put about 600 rounds through it since I got it back together. Only issue I had was the AOS plate coming loose because the screw was too long and contacting the extractor. I cut that down and remounted everything and now it's fine. Gun shoots as well as any of my high dollar custom guns. It's accurate, reliable, and feels good. I'm very happy with it.
