10-Round 1911 DS Prodigy 9mm made Available for Restrictive Locales

Springfield Armory turned a lot of heads with the announcement of their Prodigy handgun 2 years ago, and they have been looking to create new iterations ever since with the aim to make it truly available for everyone. Their latest installment is a 10-Round 1911 DS Prodigy™ 9mm for those who might live in restrictive states, cities, and/or locales limiting your magazine capacity.

Why Make a 10-Round 1911 DS Prodigy™ 9mm?

It is a sad state of affairs, but for many of us, the reality of owning firearms is that we live in areas and are presided over by legislators who do not have a full, educated grasp of firearms. This pans out in laws that don’t make sense, limit our freedoms, and do little to enable public safety. For all of those reasons, Springfield Armory was motivated to produce the 10-Round 1911 DS Prodigy™ 9mm so those gun owners who are burdened by restrictions could still own this phenomenal pistol.
