Looks like the Springfield prodigy ships with one 17 round and one 20 round magazine. Does anybody know if the tube size of each is identical?
I would want to increase capacity for LO by swapping the base pads ans I'm trying to figure out how many additional magazines I would need to get.

D60 everywhere…
Too bad they're a pain to load! I've run some bay style rifle matches and only use the 60 when I know 40 will be cutting it close

Most modern 1911 style guns accept standardized small parts as drop in. Thumb safeties and grip safeties always have to be fit. The days of 1911s being poor quality manufactured goods requiring custom work for any modifications largely ended years ago when real machinists started building these guns and their respective parts.
Good point.

You don’t need a gunsmith to optimize a Prodigy. All the parts drop in.
Really? While I agree that you shouldn't need a gunsmith I never heard of a 1911 with drop in parts. Is this supposed to be a feature of the prodigy?

Thanks all. A thorough cleaning seems to have worked.

Loading on a 650 and got a few of these recently. Thoughts on what might be causing?

Thanks for checking!

Pretty sure it is the same as the 1100/870.
I can check later. YouThanks Don. That would be great if you could check!

I bought a pair of used Remington versa max and want to remove the extended tube on one and add a plug to use for hunting. There are 2 different thread pitches…coarse on the tube and fine on the extension. The cap is the fine thread.
Anyone know thread pitch/compatibility for the stock tube (the coarse thread)? Can’t seem to find any specifically for the VM since they don’t make it anymore
-
Thanks. That’s what I figured. Was contemplating doing the free SBR registration with a pistol so I have a backup SBR but sounds like I can keep just one on the books for now.
-
The lower that I use for 99% of my shooting in 556 and 300 blk is my SBR lower. Has anyone heard of lowers failing (cracking or other issues)? Only about 15k but wondering if I need to be concerned as I get to 50k, 100k etc.

I tried some and was not impressed. 1.5 moa at best out of my barrel (20” WOA). Good enough for hitting long range steel on the cheap out to 700 yards at local range I guess.
Same barrel is 1 moa with 75 gr hpbt hornady and 1/2 moa with both 77 and 69 gr SMKs.

Do you know any specific parts that work or don't from the M4 on the Versamax?
A coworker has one that he said worked with 2 3/4" and 3" shells, but didn't torch off 3.5" shells. I'm thinking that the barrel may just need to be cleaned, but I'm curious about changing the hammer and action springs.
I’m not 100% sure but I think hammer and trigger are. There’s a list out there somewhere. Probably here…
Did the 3.5” shells chamber but not go bang? Or go bang but not cycle?

I have one I modified to fit into my PCC. I think it was a great training aid. I got the one with a red laser which is great for working on close range partials for height over bore. Then when doing simulated distance with smaller targets I just ignored it.
It did start acting up on me early on, and I emailed them and they told me how to apply a little grease to the thing that resets the trigger. I was skeptical what would work but it did. They claim 100k cycles on the battery. Assuming that is accurate I put close to 200k cycles on mine last year. I ran it until it wouldn't reset the trigger anymore. Takes a long time to charge. You can out run it a little but that didn't seem like a big deal to me.
I assume trigger choice could effect results, I use it with a hiperfire pdi.
Thanks! Are you using their targets and app to record shot placement? Seems like it be valuable feedback…kinda like how we use live fire to confirm dry fire work. -
I’m planning to do some more rifle training over the winter and wondering if anybody has experience with this system?
If so, has it been reliable? Have you been able to out run the reset? when using their app and targets to track shot placement, is it possible to use multiple targets to measure transitions?

I bought a pair of the a couple of years ago. They were used and abused in 3 gun for years prior and have been 100% reliable for me with all loads. They came with a ton of spare parts but I also learned that most benelli m4 parts are directly compatible with the versa max.

CW makes a wide body single stack grip. Definitely a more expensive option but could use your limited gun frame and slide.

Have you cleaned it out with a brush? Usually there's powder and skin layered up that causes it to dull
Yes. That’s the first thing I tried. Probably just needs some dremel love!

I have a lone star innovation steel grip and after a few years it’s aggressive texturing has become dull. Has anyone tried to touch up their grip to bring the bite back?
-
I just paged through the latest issue of the Dillon catalog and see that they are still selling both the 1050 and 1100. Anyone know why they’re selling the old model side by side and at the same price as the new?
-
I have a LSI steel grip and both STI and PT inserts for my Alpha X holster. Both inserts have more slop than I'd like (front back movement). What inserts seem work best with this grip?
-
I have 2 versamax setup for 3gun. I want replace the tube on one to a factory sporting size (2-3 rounds) so I can use for small game hunting in Pa (tube needs to be plugged to 2 rounds). Anyone know what tubes are compatible? Seems like the only ones out there are tube extensions
-
Any updates on this? Haven’t been here in a while bc I normally just go to TT for forums.

Thanks for sharing that thread. Sounds like I should be good to go.
Springfield Prodigy factory mags
in 1911-style Pistols

Good to know! I saw that EGW was making parts specifically for the Prodigy and was thinking that they might not be 100% compatible with all 1911/2011 parts. Sounds like this is not the case and standard 2011 mags will work just fine?
