I'll get into some more detail tomorrow when I have time to dig into it a bit. That thing is a chunk though, when I pulled it out of the case I was a bit surprised at the weight, got too used to lightweight polymers but I don't mind it.

It was tongue in cheek but I was curious about the distance.288 inches
Not in the 200rds I shot today, i'll keep shooting it.It was tongue in cheek but I was curious about the distance.
Thanks for sharing.
No malfunctions I assume?
It's a new day, any new videos or reviews? Anybody else pick up a Prodigy?
Also, Hilton Yam did a 40 minute Instagram answering questions yesterday on 2 samples he has. I have no idea how to link it. Hilton does a lot of work with Springfield's and says these guns are very typical for them. (That is not meant to be good or bad). He didn't even get to range time yet in that video.It's a new day, any new videos or reviews? Anybody else pick up a Prodigy?
I remember having something years ago, can't say it was a 1911 for sure, but the breech face had a rough spot or burr at the bottom that was causing rounds to intermittently hang up. Light smoothing/polishing of the breech face corrected it.Something like that can sometimes be traced to an extractor with too much tension as well. If there's too much tension the round can hang up on the feed ramp as the case rim can't easily slide up into the extractor notch.
Yeah breechface issues can happen but not that often, when I build one I always hit it with 300-400 grit as a matter of course though. Some of these issues with the light springs people have shown where the slide is hanging up on the disconnector can be alleviated with just a little 45 degree bevel on that breech face edge.I remember having something years ago, can't say it was a 1911 for sure, but the breech face had a rough spot or burr at the bottom that was causing rounds to intermittently hang up.
